So, is this fact or fiction?

Last year I believe it was fiction!
Last year we purchased pre-assembled gear boxes, for our chiaphua, and used them our robot and it was not a problem. I was afraid that during the checking of the robot before each competition they would be flagged and we would have to pull them out of the robot. That didn't happen.
The only thing to be concerned about from what I saw in the rules, last year, was the max cost of a single componet.
This year could be a whole different matter.
Good luck!!
