They're now almost a one-stop shop for KOP items, as the IFI store was previously.

Completely agree. In 2006 I mentored a rookie team who met out of a converted copy room on the second floor of their school. We had a portable bandsaw, drill press, and grinder that we bolted to a couple of tables. We had one CAD computer and only 1 student that new how to use the software.
That year, we had shift-on-the-fly transmissions and traction wheels, all thanks to AndyMark and IFI.
