Legality of MDL-BDC (Brown Jags)

[Stuart]

Ok running this up the CD pole before I submit an official Q&A ( in case I didn't read something right )

Ok so we can use any COTS part <$400 (generally) for our electrical system
COTS is defined as nationally(+/-) available.

As far as I can tell any one that is selling Jags is selling the new MDL-BDC24 (Black Jags) and not the MDL-BDC (Brown Jags), so you cant buy Brown Jags. Does this make the brown Jags illegal for the 2011 season?
all documentation for the JAGs and CAN have specs for both the Brown and Black versions, Even the Luminary Micro website that FIRST links to shows that the Brown Jags are kit legal ( note the chart at the bottom).

So my problem is that the documentation for the items shows them as legal but the official rules dont make any exception for the non-COTS nature of the Brown Jags, and as we all know the official rules are the only docs that matter.


can some one tell me I'm wrong so I can get some sleep.
