Re: Robot+Old Skis=Legal?

I think Jason nailed this one. You really need to read and understand the definition of a COTS part and a FABRICATED part (too lengthy for this post). I believe you have a fabricated part. Unless it specifically uses the design of a ski that is not reproduce-able by other teams, I think it is legal. However, it also must conform to other rules sections. For instance, will it be used in contact with the floor or arena borders? Can it cause damage to the arena? It is being used in a safe manner?
