Re: Made in America

Keep it simple. The more rules and stipulations you put on robots, the less appealing FIRST becomes. 90% of the rules are for safety. The other 10% is for fairness and making sure the game is played correctly. If you and your team feel inclined to make sure all of the components of your robot originate in America, by all means, make it so. Other teams just don't have the money or resources to make an 'American' robot.
