Keith,
You are correct in assuming that you can make additional pulleys out of legal kit material.
I checked the "Additional Unlimited Hardware" list and did not see pulleys on it. I did see that there were 4 of one type and 4 of another in the kit.
I believe that we have limits on some things related to size and cost - I think you are correct about the quantity. We will take this under advisement and consider that an opportunity for improvement, next year.
I didn't mean to confuse you anymore than you already are, when I suggested "maybe a different way of doing the same thing" - in otherwords, I agree that sometimes it may seem like the rules inhibit the simple solution, but that rule applies to all of the teams - so its equally troublesome for all - and sometimes its because we want to see you find alternative solutions to those problems. I'm sure there are other ways to accomplish what you are trying to do, you may not have thought about them.
