Lowes and Home Depot are 15 minutes away. There's an Ace Hardware about 10 minutes away and a Grainger 5 minutes away. I'd recommend getting a Grainger catalog as they usually have just about anything you'll need short of PVC, aluminum, etc. Radio Shack is similarly about 5 minutes or a brisk walk downtown away. Finally, there's Olshan's Lumber (plus lots of other stuff) and Montalbano Lumber (ditto) both about 5-10 minutes away. So you might have to venture a bit outside of the usual Lowe's/Home Depot runs, but I think we're fairly well covered from robot repair suppliers. Though, admittedly, walking across the parking lot to the Tractor Supply this year was pretty darn convenient.
