Question Robot+Old Skis=Legal?

Hello all,

My team has designed our shooting mechanism using very old skis to prototype with. Now that we are getting farther into the build season, we have realized that our prototype is a very good final product.

The skis we used are late-80's/early-90's and are definitely not currently available new. We have greatly altered them, but the fact remains that they were originally skis and are not commercially available to other teams. Would these skis be illegal by FIRST guidelines?

We used them simply because the price was right (they were free), and we would hate to have to buy new ones- they aren't cheap!!!

Please help!
