Well, in our case, we found a local company to help us out. Now, this company can get us whatever materials we need from various companies, like McMaster. However, since they are constantly getting things from these companies, they pay for our shipping. So, really, it IS cheaper for us to get from another catalog. Plus, many other catalogs don't run out of materials, or parts as SPI does. So, SPI does have it's benefits for some teams, but is a hinderence to others. That's what was ggreat about alst year. If SPI was a hinderence to you, you could buy from wherever you wanted. While at the same time, if it was easier for you to get it from SPI, you could, and it didn't count against your allowable material on the robot.
