I have no problem with a must buy from SPI rule. After all, these guys donate tons of money and services to the Competition. However, what difference does it make WHEN we buy the parts from SPI? SPI gets overloaded for a few weeks and I think they would welcome a spreading out of some of the orders. I agree that you should not be allowed to reuse parts from previous years robots, but a new, unused purchased part from SPI should not need to be wasted.

I also enjoy the challenge of design with limited material and I believe that it helps us smaller companies with limited technical resources.

My two.

Mr. Bill
