Gary-
I was surprised to see year 2000 Q222 and A222. Has FIRST said anything like that for THIS year? My understanding has always been the following:
Fastener: holds two structures together so that they do not move relative to each other; usage is not limited
Axle: allows rotation greater than 360 degrees (like the wheel axle); must be made from SPI matls, AHL matls, or bought from SPI
Pin in Link: allows rotation less than 360 degrees; usage is not limited
Any twisting of the definition of "fastener" to allow relative motion makes the fastener not a fastener anymore, imho.
Ken
