Forget the 2006 rules for a minute and think if this is a direction that the First competition should go. It's just a drive train assembly now but in a few years could escalate into entire robots being ordered. Then we would have the robot procurement season instead of the build season. What starts off as a single assembly can lead down a path I do not think First should go. I believe some how there needs to be a distinction between parts and components and entire assemblies. How does this development fit in with the vision of First. If First becomes a specing event and fund raising event I'm out of here.
