Are we allowed to use outside libraries for our code? We were thinking of using OpenCV, but [R18] says "Robot elements designed or created before the Kickoff presentation, including software, are not
permitted."
Now later in [R18], it says, after describing another team making robot code, that
Quote:
After completing the software,
they post it in a generally accessible public forum and make the code available to all
teams. Because they have made their software generally available (per the definition of
COTS, it is considered COTS software and they can use it on their Robot).

This doesn't specifically mention outside libraries, but it seems implied. I'd like to get some confirmation on whether they're allowed, though.
