I don't see at all how this will "level the playing field", we will most likely just order a pile of stuff we think we might need so it is on hand when we need it.

Warning - Start of Rant.....

The only person I see this helping is the owner of SPI. The fact that he has strong influences with the FIRST community doesn't help any either. Does anyone else smell something fishy here? I had this suspicion that some decisions by FIRST seem to benefit SPI more than the teams. I got this suspicion when they took gears and sprockets off the additional hardware list, but I didn't want to say anything. Once I saw this new take on the rule I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Has anyone ever pondered why we don't use a large company like McMaster-Carr who wouldn't be drained of supplies so easily and is much easier to deal with? Not even to mention availability of parts, cost and delivery time. SPI still gives us tax and shipping headaches because of the way GM requires us to purchase materials.

Maybe now is the best time to start divisions based on funding so they can take away some of these ridiculous rules.

End of Rant....
