Both of those YES answers end up being not allowed. (Did you notice all the YES answers in the flowchart end up being NO conclusions? Sounds like life, doesn't it?) The rules also mention not allowing gerbils, but nothing about hampsters. There might be some wiggle room going down the "Electronics" branch, if you can get by the "safety hazard" above it. By the way, usfirst.org is already set up for the 2009 FRC Competition Manual!
Doctorwho: More like "field damage" -- refs wouldn't get mad, but you'd get DQ'd! But more realistically (once you build the flux capacitor  ), how are you going to hit 88 feet per second when an empty field is a little over 60-feet on the diagonal?
Think Geek has a replica available, and the obligatory sign.
