Actually, in the real world you better do that! But it's called next year's model!!

The sooner we know what the official FIRST spare parts rule will be, the better it will be for all of us. The unfortunate thing is whatever the rule is, there will always be someone who will seek a way around it to try and gain a competititve advantage. Or else they will just plain ignore the rule.

Does the spare parts issue become moot if a team were to say parts A, B and C are likely to get damaged so let's make 6 spares of each and ship them with the robot?
