Re: [BB]: KOP info
Given the mountains of components we have gotten over the years in our KOP but never used, if FIRST needs to save money in a big way I'd rather the KOP just included donated items and a link to a well-documented website with items to buy separately. AndyMark would run such a thing, I'll bet. That would make sense to teams, of course, only if the registration fee dropped a lot more.
Since rookies wouldn't know what to order to get started, there would need to be a starter kit with a kit frame, motors, transmissions, etc. that would be enough to build a box on wheels. Perhaps there could be another kit available with a grab bag of interesting parts, like the current KOP, available for teams who want to buy one.
Personally, and for the sake of the planet, I'd rather just pay for what we need if the result was a much lower registration fee.
