Re: Last Year's Gyro

Is it a COTS and not developed exclusively for FIRST?
Quote:
<R36> COTS ITEMS from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS
MECHANISMS 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 the Kit Of Parts for a previous FIRST Robotics Competition (e.g. 2006 FRC transmissions, custom-made motor couplers, custom sensor strips, 2006 IFI CMUcam II modules, etc. are not permitted)
 The item must satisfy ALL of the rules associated with materials/parts use for the 2008 FIRST Robotics Competition)
It apparently would be legal, unless it violates <R36>. At least, I can't find anything against it. (To be very sure, ask Q&A.)
