thats a crock
Tape measures may be legal, but should be frowned apon by teams. Many of us worked hard to find a way to work in the rules in the 6 weeks. if your bot dosent fit the bill then y copy off others. First is Inspiration and recognition of Technology. What is technological about taping a tape measure to a finely milled machine.
My opinion is that if u didn;t build it then u shouldn;t be allowed to use it, and no one can say they built a tape measure (save the teams that built a tape measure like thing themselves.
If we take the easy way out now then what does it tell the rookies, and what will this lead to in the future, The game is about making new strides not relying on something someone esle made. Small parts may sell it but it is by no means a "building item" Shame on all those who exploit this small oversite in that small parts can;t make a special FIRST catalog for teams with some items removed.
