We got as far as creating geometry to make our own gear boxes on our cnc mill. We were inspired by AndyMark and their new Toughbox Nano Tube when we saw it at IRI.
Reading the rules, it sounds like we can not use any of the program we created. Do you agree? That'll be sad but we'll live with it. Because we were teaching ourselves, we invested about 60 hours of work. At least the second time will be shorter.
Ideas? Suggestions?

Per the rules,
You may not reuse the program or a design that you have produced in off season directly. You may however use that design as a reference to create and new design and program to create the part that will go on the robot.
If the design is available publicly(toughBox nanos) you may use the design directly, but you have to reprogram the CNC during the new season.
This has been the implemented ruling in 2007-2010 that I am aware of and I highly doubt that it will change.
