What spare parts would you want available at a regional?

I asked a similar question and this is the response I got. http://www.ifirobotics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=227

I'm not sure if they misunderstood the question, or if FIRST handled the parts in previous years.

How about Fisher Price motors
Maybe a vice or Dremel tool too.

Good to have: Buncha fasteners. Cordless driver-drill. Spare electrical bits.

Priceless: Gold MasterCard.

Yeah, I have no idea about the CMU cam Joe.

In the past we've needed to borrorw an 884 since we only had 883's, stuff like that, and we got them from the spare parts table, not from the IFI rep.

I don't really think there's a need for FIRST to provide tools. You should be able to borrow just about any tool you'd need at an event from another team.

Zip ties and Zeus fasteners...along with a cutting wheel available. Also, some wire crimps may not be too bad either.

Rather than trying to have everything on hand what about setting up a hotline to the local suppliers and having several deliveries scheduled throughout the day?
