Im trying to purchase afew FESTO 2010 valves and i cant get the price of them or anything else of that nature anybody else having any luck??
OK, so I went to the FIRST site (www.usfirst.org), clicked on the FRC link, then Game & Season Info, Competition Manual & related docs.
At the bottom of that page is a document called “How to get more of…”. I opened that and found the entry for FESTO Valve. I followed that link, and opened the document on that page called “2010 Valve kit - Download Information”
On that page, I learned the part number of the valve. I also learned that FESTO has a page on their website where you can find their local distributot.
If you do all that and contact your local distributor, perhaps THEY will quote you price & availability.
So, go do that.
Search CD and you will find this : http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80712&highlight=Festo
stating they are $70 ordered through Festo for schools which i recommend as after checking our distributor they cant get them until Feb. 9th and they have an MSRP of about $160 (left the paper in my car)
I registered with Festo and the next day I got an activated account and then could see a price.
In the vernacular of my students OMG They cost $ 87.37 each! I need four.
I am going to call tomorrow to see if there is a discount for FIRST.
If anybody knows different please let me know.
