What we suggested was to hold back certain items not every team wants or needs - compressor, brass bag, etc - and instead allow teams to order (within limits) what they want or need.

Of course, logistics of fulfilling orders are significant. But, we may one day get a single crate and permission to choose $x worth of 'stuff' from FIRST.

If you like this idea, mention it to someone at FIRST.

I probably sound like a broken record here but why not just slash the registration fee by $200, up the amount teams are allowed to spend on extra parts by $200, and let teams do whatever they want with the money?
