Do we have to ship the control system along with the robot on Tuesday?
Is it true that we are allowed to keep the control system in our possession after the shipping deadline. They had these rules in 2004 and 2006:

"6.3.5 states "FIRST will allow you to keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI power supply, joysticks, etc.) and not ship them with your robot on Tuesday, 2/21/2006. This will allow you to continue to work on your programming. If you decide not to ship controls with your robot, please rememberyour initial competition. FIRST does not have replacement controls." (2006)

But I can't find anything like this in this year's rules. Does anyone see this in the rules? Thanks.

<sigh>

Once again: RULES FROM PREVIOUS COMPETITIONS DO NOT APPLY TO THIS YEAR'S GAME.

Read Rule <R26>. In particular, read the last paragraph of the rule. Draw your own conclusions.
