Calling all Lawyers... ...Define "all parts"

[Joe Johnson]

As to fixtures and/or tooling:

These are 100% legal. You can make anything you want when ever you want if its function is just to help you MAKE parts at a competition. What you can't make are parts for your robots except during the 6 week build period, at a regional, and after a regional until midnight Wednesday.

As to using the spare transmission that was improved during a banned period:

This part is very clearly an illegal part. You cannot use it on your robot and remain within the rules (at least how I read them).

As to bringing your spare robot home:

This depends on what FIRST means by "ALL parts" A strict reading tells me you have to ship it to the next competion. But... ...I sort of think this rule has not really been well thought out by FIRST, so I am thinking that perhaps, if FIRST really thought about it, they would say you could take it home with you.

Court is adjourned...
