FAQ / About The Thrifty Bot

The Thrifty Bot exists to provide lower cost, commonly used parts to FIRST Robotics teams. Our goal is to help address the sustainability issues of FRC by providing affordable parts to teams. All parts are checked for quality to ensure that bad bearings, hex collars & any future parts are not shipped to teams.

The Thrifty Bot is operated by a husband and wife team with help and consultation from other experienced FRC mentors.

USPS is the shipping method of choice in order to keep costs low. Flat rate boxes will be used whenever possible in order to keep the process simple and affordable for everyone. Items will be shipped by the following business day.
