Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?
So if I assemble a gearbox out of various COTS parts, its a fabricated item? If another team breaks a near identical gearbox and I want to given them mine; I have to dismantle mine to COTS parts and reassemble because my gearbox was not part of their original 45 pounds?
what about lending a spare intake? a custom wheel that fits 1/2 hex? What if I take a fabricated item, and remake it into something else at the competition with another team, can they use it then? in 2011 you could lend a minibot for coopertition points. A lot of cool blockers were made last year during the lunch break, how come those collaborations can't become more sophisticated? What if a team made a simple plug and play hot zone detection? Would they have to supply it to every team to be fair or could they give it only to their alliance members?
Seems like these rules work against efforts to help another. If I can't give a non-cots part because its not declared with the original 45 pounds, I feel that is against the spirit of FIRST.
