Re: Buying the FRC kit out of season
It's not about cheating, since they wouldn't ship you the parts for next-year's game anyways.

The problem is that the parts in the KOP are mostly donated to FIRST, and they don't have a huge overstock.

Donated, eh? Guess I'll have to look for their donors. Never thought about it that way.

Re: Buying the FRC kit out of season
I believe that they only make enough KOPs for the number of teams. FIRST then replaces missing parts. For this reason, there aren't many kits left over. However, sometimes there are rare instances where teams return their kits. I know of one team from WI that had to do so this year. Your best option would be to contact FIRST directly or post something in the Q&A section.
