Re: AM' swerve modules

So, why aren't the andymark mechanum wheels against the "spirit of the competition" but a swerve module is? After all, by using AM mechanum wheels teams learn nothing about machining, CNC usage, roller molding, etc.
Same thing with the gearboxes.

(This isn't directed at anyone in particular, just a general question)

At some point you have to draw a line, what's the justification for putting it here? And what other things are prohibited by the same logic?
