<R25> Teams participating in the 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition that are located outside North America may not be able to acquire the exact part (as identified by specific part numbers) or materials of the specified dimensions as defined in these rules. In such situations, international teams must submit a request for approval of nearest-equivalent parts (e.g. nearest metric equivalent, etc.) to FIRST Headquarters. FIRST will determine suitability of the part. If approved, a confirming e-mail will be sent to the team. The team must bring a copy of the e-mail to any competition event to verify that the use of an alternate part has been approved.
