I think you are swimming in dangerous water if you think that when they say polycarbonate that means you can use anything made of that...
i believe that the rule says polycarbonate and not polycarbonate parts...
This is one to ask Q and A
I will be very surprised if they say that a pre-made polycarbonate hinge is the same as "polycarbonate"
As an inspector unless I had a definite Q and A response that indicated that this was ok I would not allow that pre-made hinge.
And by the way... VEX metal isn't made of aluminum it is made of steel.
(You can get a very expensive set of VEX parts made in aluminum but the pieces you get in the kit and that 99% of all teams use are made of steel.
Dave's statement can be interpreted several ways... you decide how to do it..
Yes VEX metal is still steel...it was made of it...
But is steel the same as vex metal..???
