Hello Teams,
There is a thing-a-ma-jig that every team FRC team is going to need this
year. By placing a bulk order, FIRSTWA was able to purchase this doo-hicky
for about half of what it would have otherwised cost. We went ahead and
ordered one for every team so we could get this bulk price.
At Saturdays kickoff, you will be able to pickup and take home this widget.
To do so, you will need to bring $58 with you. You can bring either cash or
a check made out to FIRSTWA. We will provide you with a receipt for $58 so
you can get reimbursed. We will be unable to accept purchase orders for
this.
If you elect not to purchase what we are offering, it will cost you
approximately $125 to get on your own. Please plan on taking advantage of
our offer on Saturday. That is once again on kickoff Saturday only! We are
sending you advanced notice so you can make arrangements for the $58.
Thanks, see you on Saturday morning.
Kevin

After a little bit of searching for things that FIRST might use that are about $125 dollars, I found everything from waterproof GPS units, to laser optical sensors, to photoelectric detectors.
Luckily, there are only two days until we find out what it all means...
Here are links to some of the things I found that were at least somewhat related to any of the ideas in this thread:
