I can tell you that on Thursday, the FIRST officials at the LA Regional believed that the ban was in effect and informed teams that were not aware of Update #16 that bandsaws, drill presses and grinders were not allowed in the pits. Hence, the discussion that led to the alternative solution of a "quick cut/drill station". We got word Friday morning that the ban had been lifted by FIRST.
