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.

Be careful about trying to get around the accounting rules by "selling" last year's used BEI gyro to a team member and selling it back to your (or another) team. See rule <R19>.
