I don't think that is correct.

I believe he can do whatever he wants in the offseason. However, any physical items have to be remade during the build season. Any software produced could be used. If he made a circuitboard he will have to just remake it during the build season. Anyone else see it this way?

EDIT: Design work can be done anytime. However, manafacturing must take place during designated times, such as the build.

I agree- if he makes a new one after the kickoff then its not a problem

but anything you build or fabricate over the summer cannot be used - thats why I suggested he offer them for sale to all the teams - that way, he could have the bareboards fabricated over the summer, and if he sells them, he can use them too.
