Once it's already bought for a team and shipped out there, it's hard for another team to know it. If Team A and Team B (who are on opposite sides of the country) bought 11 Dremels each and sent them out there for Ms. Wallace to distribute, neither team could have known they duplicated something where they could have bought something else from the list.

This way, we can make sure that the teams receive the most from their list that the FIRST community can give them, without overbuying in one area or another. Makes sense on the distribution standpoint and helps teams to help those in the Gulf Coast get all the things they need for a successful season.

It feels good to help people. We should all do it more often, and these 11 teams are certainly in need. Teams, take note!
