One of the suggestions given to Kate at CMP was to re-open the "FIRST Store". I am told that FIRST used to give teams a credit of some value and teams could buy whatever they wanted with that credit. This was way before my time, but I think the credit was $200 and it was with Small Parts Inc.

What we suggested was to hold back certain items not every team wants or needs - compressor, brass bag, etc - and instead allow teams to order (within limits) what they want or need.

Of course, logistics of fulfilling orders are significant. But, we may one day get a single crate and permission to choose $x worth of 'stuff' from FIRST.

If you like this idea, mention it to someone at FIRST.
