We have about $200 into just the pipe and tubing for the official version, minus the DOM spec. We bought standard welded seam tubing, since DOM was WAY more expensive, and not readily available.

To clarify, we will be producing the steel corner gusset plates only, not full welded corners. It's likely that the plates will cost in the neighborhood of $3 each. They might be 3/16 rather than 1/4 thick. Still working on details with our manufacturer. Should have it tomorrow.

We can produce the plywood gussets if there is sufficient interest, but I imagine most teams can fabricate their own.

Making them out of 3/16" is far less attractive to us.

Team 1111 would be extremely interested in a metal set.

[ehfeinberg]

What if we only wanted 4 or 8? If so, 449 is definitely interested.

1519 is interested, but I'll need to check with our field element subteam to make sure they haven't already started making these!

for $80 we'll pass, please let the next team have our spot.

Thanks for doing this! Order sent, now our small, rookie team can focus on other stuff.

There are approximately 5 and a half sets of gussets remaining that are available for purchase. Ordering is now open to all teams who have previously posted in this thread, on a first come first serve basis. Here is the Ordering page. Please use gracious professionalism here, and do not purchase if your team did not previously indicate interest in this thread. Thanks.

GUSSETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT! I am considering doing one more run of about 3 full sets. It would likely be about two weeks until I they could ship out. Please post here if you want to purchase a set. No guarantees.
