You didn't care about the two 20 cent standoffs?

Just for yuks I took a look at the cost of shipping & handling for the 2 standoffs. Shipping them alone- as part of a larger order there wouldn't be any shipping cost, of course, but where's the fun in that?

For $.40 in parts, it'd cost $9.00 to have them shipped.

Okay, okay, local parts supply will have them too ....

P.S.
Remember too that plastic pneumatic fittings were not included in the KOP last year which I think makes it much harder on the rookies to even try pneumatics.

If you wanted to do a full accounting I noticed that there will be some additional costs for parts not mentioned, but that obviously won't be included in the kit either. Such as the pressure relief valve ($27.20) and the cRIO power connectors (not included BTW in our team's cRIO order).
