The answer to the question regarding substitute parts is NO!
All teams were provided with exactly the same kit(s) of parts. All crates were carefully checked by myself to make sure all parts on the list were present. All teams picked up their kits and were supposed to inventory the kit(s). It has beed 5 weeks and you are just now seeing that you are missing kit E/B?
In some cases I replaced parts that were damaged ( like bent shafts on motors).
I am confident that you were given a complete kit of parts. If you have damaged a item and need it replaced we have limited quanity available for teams. You will need to contact me for the exchange of the parts.
Your team is responsible for all No-Mod parts. The parts will be inventoried when we disassemble your robot. Your team will be billed for missing No-Mod parts at the price listed on the inventory sheet.
I suggest you have the adult team leader contact me:
mmartus@home.com or by phone (pager) 810-402-0317 we need to talk.
Please be careful not to mix up the OCCRA kit with the Chief Delphi kit. Such a mixup may make your robot illegal as the parts are different. Refere to your inventory sheet.
