Re: Reusing Old Robot Parts
The applicable rule here is:
Quote:
R16
ROBOT elements, including software, that are designed or created before Kickoff are not permitted, unless they are publicly available prior to Kickoff.

The steel plate your battery box was made out of was originally a COTS item - any team could go out an purchase an identical steel plate. Once you modified it and shaped it into a battery box, it became a robot element. Since you did that last year, it's a robot element that was created before kickoff.
As soon as you say "last year we made...", that part is immediately off-limits.
