Rookie team, wish I had that list!

Parts we stock because we know we'll use them:
* Aluminum of all sorts
* Parts for our favorite drive trains with a couple of different gearing options
* Nuts, bolts, rivets
* Lots of different wheels

Wish I had known:
* It is easy to get good pictures (and often diagrams or even CAD files) for some of the strongest robots each year. Necessary functions from game to game often repeat themselves to one degree or another and the ability to look at what has been very successful in the past is huge.
* Lots of help is available on Chief Delphi.
