Re: Do we have to buy a kit?

My real question if you didn't get the full kit of parts what would you have to play and tinker with to get idea's for the robot. I know some of my old teams best designs and ideas came from fiddling around with the kit the saterday of the kick off and the sunday right after. Also if you don't get the kit were do you get the surgical tubing (that gray elastic tubing). That stuff was an awsome way to store elastic energy in the robot very easily and safely, it was also fun to play with. I say that if you have an excess of parts that you've not been having enough idea's, for every part you have that's just sitting there you should think of a way of making something out of it and then doing it. Not only would it be fun it'd be good practice.

Happy Tinkering!
