It is my position that this rule is set with intention to rake in the SPI profits. There are really no questions about it- if it wasn't intended to do that, then we would be able to manufacture parts and give them away as well as use bits and pieces from the year before. This is just like taking from poor and giving to the rich- in Florida when the lower-income teams are needing special expensive parts and aren't able to get them due to "the rule" and lack of $$, what is going to happen? They are going to get jipped because they have lower funding. I know that rule has to be making it difficult for so many people... but hey... what can we do? We live and we die by the rulebook...
