It's not required we build anything for the KOP to have it approved for FIRST use. I confirmed that quite some time ago with FIRST KOP. If FIRST KOP wants it badly enough for that purpose they are welcome to boot strap the funding.

However, according to my contacts at FIRST KOP we can get something approved by September when the documents are finalized and then, because we don't wish to put it in the KOP, we just have to make production volume for those that buy when they find out it's approved in January. If we did put it in the KOP we'd need production volume by October.

As stated I'm willing to provide boot strap resources to get working near production ready prototypes, and produce 50-100 of whatever FIRST ends up approving. More if people actually gobble those up.

If we can't make the deadlines for this year I'm perfectly fine putting resources into this into next year.

Additionally between the monitoring equipment I am working on right now for the power supplies on the robot, the websites, I've already poured $3,000 of mine into this (never mind the $4,000 I spent already messing around on my own outside of resources sent to Team 11 for projects over the last 2 years).

Besides 10,000 units is really trivial. With the resources involved if push really came to shove I could probably easily make 50,000 units a year if there was demand to buy it and the schedules weren't ruinous.
