I'm pretty sure they won't, actually. While the Spare Parts booth does have a lot of stuff from the KOP, it's probably a good 90% or more motors and control system. No frame stuff, very little pneumatics, very little mechanical stuff.

At least, that's what I remember from 2006, when I worked one. The current list hasn't been released yet.

The GDC has made it clear: if you for whatever reason don't have the one in the KOP, get a 1"x1"x1/16" wall steel tube, and cut it into a 7" length, and that will be your spacer bar. (Then bring the rest of the tube to your regional for the 3-4 teams that forget.)
