FRC Blogged - An Early Option

[maddoctor90]

I really like the idea of being able to use the product vouchers early. We pre-order certain parts that we use every year on the robot like (batteries, aluminum, cim motors, etc). This will allow us to buy many of these parts with the vouchers instead of trying to figure out what to use them for during the build season.

Hopefully this will allow overseas teams to receive much of their KoP in time for it to be useful for the build season.

While this is a non-issue for American teams, and a minor issue for Canadian teams, it is a big issue for many of our international colleagues, some of whom did not receive their KoP until several weeks into the build season.
