Re: Last year's kit frame

As I'm reading their responses, there's still a loophole of sanity that they haven't covered yet. Namely, that <R32> only pertains to salvaging parts that were actually USED on previous robots. So, presumably, they wouldn't prevent you from using an IFI frame that was just collecting dust somewhere.

Also, the rule only pertains to KoP items. So, I would hope, any extra IFI frames (or BB trannies) that you bought during the 2007/2008 season would still be legal.

I'll be posting a Q&A concerning these issues. One does wonder if they have any plans or hopes of actually enforcing these rulings, aside from depending on the GP of teams. Given the funding crunch on teams, and that the only perceptible difference between a 2008 frame and a 2009 frame is $200 and some convoluted reasoning.... I can't see GP making it very far here.
