Re: COTS parts that were in the kit?

So, in the process of coming up with solutions that can be easily done at the tournament, we found that we could use some of the KOP frame parts to help. So, since these are unmodified stock parts, I figured I could bring them with me and then use them to fix the shipped robot.

So, these are purchased, unmodified, KOP parts. Legal?
Thats exactly what needs to be clarified. Raul's post said it best, many people and teams will be hurt if FIRST requires all KOP parts that you want to use to be shipped.
