We must keep in mind that Overdrive (Lowfategg's team) had two functioning robots for FTC at the same time. Also keep in mind that parts can be reused, and as to what Overdrive bought with $2000 worth of parts plus past kits, I can only wonder.

Can FTC kits be reused from year to year, or will it be like FRC, where a new kit needs to be bought each year?
