Well spotted.
The 3/8" stud you see was a KoP item in previous years, and would be considered a COTS COMPONENT now. As such we will need to account for its cost in our materials list, and make sure that it complies with <R63> since, as an electrical conductor, it might be considered a custom circuit.
EDIT: of course under <R47> the stud is an additional electrical component, and as such would not be allowed if it is not COTS.
EDIT: Post Count = Team Number.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
