You migth check the rules first though, as the parts might not be available for sale anywhere, so using "free" ones might not be allowed.

As I read <R43> it would prohibit the use of extra "kit" 24 tooth sprockets obtained from other teams, since that part is apparently not a COTS component. A team that is considering using more than two of the "kit" 24 tooth sprockets (i.e., using more than the quantity included in the 2007 kit) should post a question on the official Q&A site to see if this will be allowed.

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.
