Re: Update 6 is out

In update 6 it states;
"The sprockets provided in the 2007 Kit of Parts were custom manufactured for FIRST and
are not COTS parts. As such, only the two 24-tooth sprockets received in the Kit may be
used on your Robot. Teams are welcome to fabricate equivalent parts from COTS items.
Comparable COTS #35, 24-tooth sprockets are available from vendors such as Innovation
First, McMaster-Carr, and others. You may have to make modifications to these sprockets
in order to mount them to your wheels, get sufficient spacing for your chain, etc. In this
scenario, the additional sprockets would be considered modified COTS items."

Our team custom-made a sprocket with more than 24 teeth (not sure of the actual number). According to the parts use flowchart it is legal, according to the update it appears that it is not. Which is correct?
