- The item must be unmodified, and still in its original condition as delivered from the VENDOR
- The item must not be a part custom made for the FIRST competition and provided in a previous FRC Kit Of Parts (e.g. 2006 FRC transmissions, custom-made motor couplers, custom sensor strips, IFI CMUcam II modules, etc. are not permitted)
- The item must satisfy ALL of the rules associated with materials/parts use for the 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition
