Okay, the semi-official, over-the-back-fence reading I got on the subject is that the BEI GyroChip gyro cannot be used if you purchase it new. It can, however, be used if you can find a source that will sell you a "used" one for less than $200. I suppose that if a team, for fundraising purposes, sold one of their gyros to a parent for anything less than $200 and that parent donated the gyro back to the school that would be kosher. Teams might also consider selling gyros to other teams. These are very nice gyros and I would really like to see teams use 'em instead of letting 'em collect dust next to the pile of broken drill motors in the storage cabinet.
