2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?

[sanddrag]

We have about $200 into just the pipe and tubing for the official version, minus the DOM spec. We bought standard welded seam tubing, since DOM was WAY more expensive, and not readily available.

To clarify, we will be producing the steel corner gusset plates only, not full welded corners. It's likely that the plates will cost in the neighborhood of $3 each. They might be 3/16 rather than 1/4 thick. Still working on details with our manufacturer. Should have it tomorrow.

We can produce the plywood gussets if there is sufficient interest, but I imagine most teams can fabricate their own.

Making them out of 3/16" is far less attractive to us.

Team 1111 would be extremely interested in a metal set.

What if we only wanted 4 or 8? If so, 449 is definitely interested.

1519 is interested, but I'll need to check with our field element subteam to make sure they haven't already started making these!

Team 2137 bought a set and has decided not to use them. We would be willing to sell them for what we have in them. Please PM me if interested.

The gusset ordering page is now up. Payment is through Paypal (which I think will take a card) or check in snail mail.

For the present time, I will only to the following teams who have posted in this thread indicating interest. The teams eligible for purchase are:

Place orders here

If these don't sell to the above eight teams by the end of Saturday 1/13/13, I'll open up to the next teams above in order of posting in this thread. If they sell out to the above teams, I'll consider a second run of parts, and offer them to the remaining teams and additional new teams, by the order of posts in this thread.

[AdamHeard]

for $80 we'll pass, please let the next team have our spot.

Thanks for doing this! Order sent, now our small, rookie team can focus on other stuff.
