A set of small omnis is $20 -- the same as the claw. Let's ban those. Let's also ban the large omnis($25), the shaft encoders ($20), extra servos and motors ($20 each), aluminum parts ($100), rack and pinion gears ($30), tank treads ($30), the tank tread upgrade kit ($25), extra wheels ($30), chains and sprockets ($30), the larger chassis kits ($21 to $34) and the ultrasonic range finder ($30). Allowing the use of these extra parts is not fair to the teams that cannot afford them, either -- and they cost the same as or more than the claw. I don't know why you are picking and choosing what should and should not be legal?
