Re: Out of Stock - Motors/Gear boxes...

Which is exactly why it's imperative to work quickly and efficiently. Teams that had well-thought-out designs week 1 and 2 were able to order and ship any needed parts.

FRC is meant to model real life. Too much to do in too little time with not enough money. And things aren't always where you need them to be.

From the vendor side - this season there is an embarassment of riches as far as motor options go. 22 motors on a robot - that's crazy! The vendors have no clue what motors will be used by teams - FP or BaneBots or AM or one taken from an Odyssey in the local junkyard. Our vendors are in a niche market - it would be poor business for them to stockpile tons of inventory in the hopes that it will be sold. Every piece of inventory in a warehouse is lost money.
