FIRST (not First) should absolutely not create a rule like this.
Teams are welcome to create this rule for themselves if they want. There are many companies that advertise American made products (i.e. AndyMark Inc.).
But to have FIRST implement a rule like this would hurt the international appeal of the program. FIRST is no longer a national competition. It is international. I love our international teams! They bring a beautiful diverse culture to the competition scene.
