I don't care that they limit minibot to Tetrix and some raw materials, that is a fine constraint that levels teams to some point.

My problem is that if you go to the FTC-Tetrix site:

http://parts.ftcrobots.com/store/def...y=9&c=1&bhcp=1

the parts are one price and another price when you go to the FRC-Tetrix site

(http://www.legoeducation.us/store/de...ID=159&bhcp=1).

In the real world, an organization uses it purchasing and political muscle to get a better price for its members.

In this case, First SEEMS to be letting FRC subsidize FTC or Lego. I don't think Lego is starving! I have asked the question in the official forums and have not seen any answer. Maybe Update#4 is the answer?

Does not seem correct or fair. We are a well funded team and the difference in costs will not prevent us from building a minibot or two if we are successful. Not true for others.
