We hope to do a lot of pratice !

Fasteners vary. It really depends on your team's needs. Whatever comes in the kit of parts, though, you may want more of.

McMaster may or may not have pool noodles, but you do need to get pool noodles. McMaster does carry some aluminum; however, there are places online. (I've never dealt with any myself, but there are a number of posts on CD with places to find some.) Try a pool supply store for the noodles.

A basic manipulator--Something fairly simple that can handle the game object in the way that the game requires. That's something you'd design after Kickoff.
