I am the lead mentor for our team…I am going through first choice right now, and was wondering what items you think will go fast? Also, what would you recommend for rookie teams? i.e. I am not sure if we will use pneumatics yet, but the pneumatic tubing might be useful since we didn’t have any in our kit.
Is it better to go after sensors and motors? Or gears, sprockets, lazy susans, etc. I feel like this is so hard without a design in mind. Are the normally expensive parts the ones most worth getting on first choice?
I feel like we should wait until we have a design, but I’m afraid the “good stuff” will go quick.
It would be wise for you to order the normally expensive things first.
My team is planing to pick up the batteries, door motors and light sensors first, however we have two designs already. It would be best for you to have an idea of what you want to build before ordering any parts.
Holy cow, the battery chargers went so fast, one minute had 4 of them in my basket and before I had a chance to finalize my checkout, they were all gone. What a shame. They should have limited those!!
Just guessed as we don’t have a design yet. Mostly pneumatics (tubing, valves, and fittings)as there was limited stuff in the KOP. Seems like those parts are harder to find locally. Also picked up the Lazy Susan’s and the shaft encoders. Also the van door motor. Did manage to get the order to 100 points exactly.
I didn’t log in until about 8 am EST and there was plenty left. Some things were gone, but the things I wanted, batteries, sidecars, etc. were still there.
Can’t wait for SVR!
