This and the other post related to kit expenses got me thinking. We know there are a few required items, e.g. control system, speed controllers, motors, etc. But what if the rest of the kits were a-la-carte? It may be a logistical nightmare, but what if only core components were packaged for the "kit" at kickoff? Teams could then order parts as needed, like extra motors, pneumatics, sensors, and such. I know a few teams who have stockpiles of pneumatics, motors, optical sensors, gyros, etc. from previous years, unused but still paid for as part of the kit. Even if it's only a few hundred dollars saved, it will still help. I also know there's a bunch of issues with this sort of thing, but it's an idea which may be worth considering, especially to smaller, less funded teams who really need the money.
