ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS ITEMS that are no longer
commercially available may be used under the following conditions:
° 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)
I think this is going to be an issue with quite a few teams. I know of several teams that were using the 2006 camera and got away with it. (The 2007 version does't work effectively, if at all. Adam from Intellitek was having problems with it and he wrote the EasyC software for Intellitek).
