Go to Post I think there is much to be learned from working in teams, and team projects, but even more when you go out on your own some time for something you are truly passionate about. - paul_v [more]

Unhappy You might be right, but toward what end?

The Rules say that if it is available from Small Parts you should get it from Small Parts, UNLESS they are out of it and you clear it with FIRST first.

Am I wrong here?

Joe J.

I believe you are correct here Joe, and perhaps this should be "cleared" with FIRST....but I would be quite surprised of they ruled against.

Let's face it, some teams have ALOT more money than others, and saving a few bucks here and there is really CRITICAL to some. (never mind the time which might be important to any team)

Also, as I understand it, while FIRST always wants to be "good" to Small Parts since they are a good company and past sponsor, I hear that this year they are not.....

So given the material is the same, I don't see the issue myself, and I believe that FIRST would see it the same way. (with such strict interpretation, all you get are teams buying material to get a receipt and returning it... which is cheating for no reason and not good for Small Parts either)
