Each year sample game piece packs (i.e. the $80 kit for this year) are available for purchase AFTER the next challenge announcement at World’s. Would it be possible to make those kits available well before the announcement is made? I understand that there can’t be a description of what the pieces …

I would like this too. By the time we can put in a purchase order for the new elements, district officials seem to already be on summer break even though the school year isn’t yet over, forcing us to wait weeks into the new year for anything to arrive (and even for the transaction to be processed). …

I would be very happy if Vex sold quarter field kits at worlds. I presume that full field kits would be unethical because that’s too high of a demand to meet at worlds and still have enough objects for everyone who wants to buy them to get some.
