motor) .. among other things.
At Lone Star there was a problem with a few teams and their Lego Blocks concerning the yellow interconnect strips. FIRST did NOT have ANY of these parts available or even at Bayou. These teams made makeshift connectors and barely passed inspection because of it. Is there any way that any of you (the inspectors or anyone at all) can check if FIRST will have those or not at Spare Parts so that teams with extras know how many extra to bring.

Thanks,
Pavan.
