Re: Show Us Your Priority List!

I haven't put together a list yet, but my team in Canada is wary of shipping charges that will erode the "value" of each credit, e.g. if we ask for batteries at 50 credits vs a Victor 888 at 50 credits, we'll pay more in international shipping charges for the battery and thus those 50 credits don't quite go as far. We could always buy a battery from Amazon (assuming the OEM specification rule for batteries is still in play this year).

We're not just an international team but a rookie team (with veteran students, thus the low team number) so we have basically no inventory and no money.

So our list will be:
- items we think we will need for inventory and prototyping (pneumatics, motors, controllers)
- that aren't too heavy or bulky to ship (e.g. batteries, steel track)
- that couldn't be more easily/cheaply purchased or donated locally (e.g. tool sets)
- that hopefully maximize the $/credit ratio.
