QUESTION 10/28/01: Should FIRST have less strict electronics rules and allow teams build their own circuitry and electronic components? And if so, what electronics would your team like to build?
I say Yes for creative purposes, but no for safety reasons. I think the reason that FIRST placed electronic restrictions is so they wouldn't overload and catch on fire. I mean it is not that I don't trust other teams, but an original circuit board goes mainly untested in certain situations. If you know what you are doing, and knowing the amp and volt restrictions than I would see why not to. What can you do with an extra circuit board? Seriously. Your brain can do basically anything.

I am a strong supporter of less restrictions, more creativity. But not when it compromises safety. And this one is a coin toss.
