I really hope than in the spirit of this competition that if you have made spares in the legal time period that they should be legal to be used on your robot regardless of the whole shipping crate thing. Some teams have 2 crates some have one. I will tell you that since we only have 1 crate there were a few spare parts that were made and used in the 6 weeks that had to be taken out of the crate because of weight on the dock (came in at 710lbs) so these are in my opinion 'legal' parts we have pictures of the parts on our robot but since we didn't have a second crate we couldn't ship them. I wouldn't feel like I am cheating anyone simply because we don't have 2 crates. The ruling may be hardlined saying I am way wrong but I feel in the 'spirit' of FIRST we have complied and stopped working on parts since the ship date. I have to believe there are others like me out there who either have or will have legitimate parts that just are not in the 'crate'
