I am working with team 73 this year who through some unfortunate circumstances over the past few years doesn’t have a good stock of materials and/or parts. I am looking to be putting together a wish list of things which would be nice to have before the season starts. The way I see it things break into 3 major catigories: Raw Materials/Supplies, Tools, and Robot specific parts. I am looking for some input in each one of these areas so let start a list.
Raw Materials/ Supplies
1)1"x1" aluminum tube
2)3/16" aluminum plate
3)1.5" pvc pipe and assorted fittings
4)zip ties

3)t-handle allen wrench set

Robot Parts
