Minibot Q&A: Welding

The GDC has reversed course on welding on the Minibot.

Per this post on 1/16, welding was legal: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16288

However, today there was a change to that: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16638 and http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=16652 both declare welding illegal due to the use of aluminum welding rod, which is not in <R92>.

This is a heads-up to any team planning to weld their minibots.
