Do you make that assertion based upon the allowable list of materials? That list was expanded in previous seasons and hasn't changed from last year to this.{I stand corrected in that it added a few new items, springs...}

IMHO - it is more of allowing FTC teams some creative design flexibility in lue of restrictions to a single company's product line.
