Actually, I was talking to one of their mentors and he said that they had specifically contacted FIRST and had sent them a six page document outlining their design and why it complied with the rules. Apparently FIRST said it was OK (at that time). As a team, they work quite closely with FIRST, so maybe they contacted FIRST directly, not through the Q&A?
