As I’m placing items in the cart to build the REV Starter Bot 2025 Reefscape, they run out of MAXTube - 2x1 - Grid Pattern - 47in (REV-21-2590). Yikes! Any ideas? Use other parts from someone else? Wait for it to come back in and pray? Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated.

WCP carries a compatible part under WCP-0125, which they anticipate to be in stock in late January or early February.

TTB has mid January on the stock page.
(pending some weather that moved across the Midwest that may impact things a few days)

hi @CoachBet we have more coming in of that specific item in about a week.
Almost all of the 2x1 tubes used on the starter bot can be any of the other 2x1 MAXTube options with a few notes.
2x1 - MAX Pattern - 23-Pos (47in) (REV-21-2185) - This is already on the BOM and has most of the holes you need. This is what I would use for most of the robot if you can’t wait for additional stock.
Light - Grid Pattern - 47in (REV-21-2289) - only use this for the elevator not the drivetrain
3/16in Wall - Grid Pattern - 47in (REV-21-3586) - Thicker wall so it will be heavier, but good for the drivetrain
One more note - If you buy the drivetrain kit It does come with the tubes already. These are pre-bundled so they are still in stock and available.

Super helpful, thank you. It turns out I panicked for no reason. I thought the ones Rev was out of are the MAX Pattern… not the regular GRID pattern. It seems we’d have much more trouble trying to replace/exchange the MAX pattern. I think we’re ok. A follow-up topic though… we have our Swerve drive built and we ordered a 2 stage elevator from TTB. It’s pretty tough to determine which parts from the BOM are specifically parts we don’t need because we have the elevator. I tried going through the CAD part by part but it’s been hours. Any better way to do this?
