Re: Purchase/Prebuild - What's the difference?

Building it ahead of time is illegal. You could purchase a part ahead of time and not build it into any part of the robot ahead of time, though. Its clearly in the rules, all construction must be done during the 6 weeks.

Additionally, I think you might have a slightly skewed view of the FIRST world. A large majority of teams will never be able to build many custom parts. No amount of time will turn some scrap metal, a hand drill, a hacksaw, and meager funding into a precision piece of metal work.
