Now there's an angle I hadn't thought about. The rules have always been you can't build anything until day 1, but if you bought something available as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) that's OK (Bosch made their COTS drill transmissions long before day 1 for sure, so did Martin gears, etc.). If a team or individual associated with FIRST makes a component or assembly available for sale to any team, is it considered COTS or do they have to wait until build day 1 to fabricate and assemble them? What's to prevent a team or individual from building a new transmission in the fall and then deciding to sell it to anyone who wants one so they can use it? - they've effectively gotten a jump on the build season.
