But when you state, as you did in your original post, that "I have put way to much time into designing a universal chassis, and come Jan 3 I dont want to have to start over, or make any changes" then you make it unambiguous that is exactly what you are doing. FIRST's intent and those actions are obviously in conflict. Based on the advice from Bill's Blog, you might want to think carefully about just how much time you want to invest in developing a detailed final design that you may not be able to use.


and that's what we, in the engineering world, call a completely unnecessary statement.

I agree with what you are saying. what i meant was that it would be nice if the game really fit with our chassis, but by no means were we trying to gain an unfair advantage.
