Re: Last year's chassis parts

Under certain conditions. Read Rules <R32> and <R33>. Since to use the IFI kit chassis in a competition at least part of it had to be cut, you cannot use those cut parts. Any unmodified part can be used. IFI still sells the kit on its website, so it is a COTS item (not a custom made FIRST kit part).

Quote:
<R32> COTS ITEMS from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS MECHANISMS that are no longer commercially available may be used under the following conditions:
A. The item must be unmodified, and still in its original condition as delivered from the VENDOR, and
B. The item must not be a part custom made for the FIRST competition and provided in the Kit Of Parts for a previous FIRST Robotics Competition (e.g. 2006 FRC transmissions, custom-made motor couplers, custom sensor strips, 2006 IFI CMUcam II modules, etc. are not permitted), and
C. The item must satisfy ALL of the rules associated with materials/parts use for the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition)

<R33> FABRICATED ITEMS from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions shall not be used on ROBOTS in the 2009 competition.
