Rules and options

Hi,
We have discussed the addition to the rules the use of anything contained in a catalog for use on the robot. Since we already use Small Parts for mechanical stuff, let's use DigiKey for electrical stuff. They have a wide variety of interconnect, display, and even Basic Stamp. It would allow electrical engineers to demonstrate modern components to students and give alternatives to control panel designs. Speaking of which, allowing a seperate power supply for control panel for display purposes would be a nice addition as well.
(Yes! I am on the electrical team!)
Al
