Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'
This is out of box and pretty radical but I'd like to put it out there. It's no way polished just a concept I've had that I think i've taken from another competition but I can't seem to recall. This would proabbly apply to a rookie or low cost "division" and then above that would be open division identical to the current FRC.

The teams can only purchase parts from listed FIRST suppliers

Teams are provided with the KOP
plus they can purchase $2000 worth of parts/supplies/material from the following suppliers:

any amount from andymark
any amount from McMaster
any amount from Granger
$300 from 8020inc
$150 from skyway wheels
etc.

Conditions
$200 limit on Sheet Metal
$350 limit on Electrical componenets
etc.

all other FIRST rules apply
