Heh. This is somewhat akin to using premade assemblies on a robot vs. building it yourself. I think the options for FIRST here are to go the same route as the robot rules or outlaw them altogether. So either there's a price limit and "BOM" on your animation, or no premade models are allowed. And then there's the question of using models made before the 6 weeks or not. A veteran team could work year round on a lot of models and have a large selection to pick from. So I think you should be wary of protests about all this, lest you get exactly what you ask for....
