Last year a BOM for the goal was released just prior to kickoff. All of our rookies have been warned that if this happens again, they should buy everything on it as fast as possible. There is always some item that is hard to get and makes building difficult if you don't have it.
Last year it was the pipe flanges. I figure FIRST needed about 38,000 of those country wide, far more than the typical consumption for a single weekend. We had distributors asking us "What's up with the flanges?". In years before that it was KEE-KLAMPS. Last year they tried the early BOM release as an experiment. I think it went over well, and hope they do it again. If nothing else it supplies more fuel for the speculative fires. But as far as I know they haven't said anything one way or the other.
