I hope this is handled quietly and gracefully, with the understanding that this is a rookie team that made an honest mistake. Your posting this question here is a sure sign both that you care about the rules and want to follow them, and did not intentionally violate the rule in order to build additions or enhancements.

While the rules are spelled out pretty clearly, there are a LOT of them, and even veteran teams sometimes make mistakes.

Your honesty in this regard is to be commended. It would have been easy to "cover up" this error and sneak your control board into the competition along with your tools and spare parts. Hopefully FIRST can find an appropriate way to ensure that this mistake does not diminish your experience this year, while still respecting the inegretity of the shipping deadline rules.
