per gear the price was over $900, yes that is in hundreds, we thought they maybe screwed up the decimal place since they were under $100 every where else. Nope. I think that Rush shouldn't even be listed as a source for FIRST type robots. After a bit more searching we found that Motion Industries had them all in stock at way under $100 each and they are ready for pickup in only 2 days. I think it would be beneficial if we get together a white paper or similar listing valid sources for the different materials that teams use. It could save allot of teams allot of time.
