Re: The FIRST Choice Value Coefficient

Uh oh, Tristan just discovered the FIRST Pre-Kickoff Rules password cracking trick. Who knew you could buy an extra day of robot building on FIRST Choice?!

In regards to selling the video cards, I wouldn't do it myself, but it seems to me that selling robot components you own (in this case, 20 video cards) should be legal, and maybe not even frowned upon. The cards were donated to help teams, and the cash would be used to help that team as well. If this weren't the case, then selling ANY component your team received to another team should be in the same category.
As far as I know, many teams have fundraisers selling parts they own, or built using tools owned by the team. Business is a big part of FRC.

I've been trying to figure out a way to monetize the 3D printer I just bought anyway. So far, all I've done was made models for myself...
