missing kit parts

[Matt Reiland]

Yes it is quite annoying, I sent FIRST a message asking for better clarification in an update since many teams are thinking about it the same way that you are.

Here is the rule that is in question

K2
The Restricted Parts List must be reviewed when selecting “additional components” for use on the robot. If a part falls into one of the listed categories, then carefully review the items in the category to determine whether or not it is allowed. If a part category does not list the part you wish to use, then it is not allowed. If a part does not fall into any of the categories in the Restricted Parts List, then it is allowed. Additional components may be obtained from any supplier, unless otherwise
specified.

In the example speed controllers fall into the Electrical 'category' and since the Victor 883 is no longer there, it is no longer allowed.
I hope FIRST clears this up soon, even some of my teammates are reading it incorrectly
