This must mean that Outback is selling these systems to teams at a substantially reduced rate and taking a loss, right? Could any FIRST team call up Outback and get this system for $400 or less?
Looks like to me its not all one piece. So, combined it could be upwards of $1000, but if you break it into individual pieces, they'll be less than $400.
