Re: Carbon Fiber

As Peter stated, there are certain constraints that limit the materials. As a rule of thumb, exotic materials cannot be used. The test being are they available to everyone. If you make it will other teams be able to buy the same thing.

<R41> Additional Parts must be generally available from suppliers such that any other FIRST team, if it so
desires, may also obtain them at the same price. A specific device fabricated by a team from non-2006 Kit
materials does not have to be available to others; however, the materials it is made from must be available to
other teams.
