Re: [FTC]: Question regarding materials on our FTC Robot

To avoid "material rules" issues with my team, here's the sequence of events I use when somone asks me whether they can use something:

Student: Can we use xxx on our robot?

Phil: Did it come in the kit of parts?

Student: Yes... Phil.. Well OK then.
Student: No.... Phil.. Well, No, unless you can show me in the rules where it says you can use it.

It's safest to assume you can't use something, rather than the other way around.
