That rule states the "during the six week period following kickoff" you can make spare parts. That six weeks is the build season, so if they fabricated it after shipping the robot, it would be illegal.

Wow. I keep missing that and flashing back to when you could do some sorts of minimal construction after ship date. Sorry. Though in that case, the admonition against bolt on assemblies makes no sense whatsoever. If you've built the spare assembly and assembled it during the 6 weeks and ship it with your robot.... well I have no idea why you couldn't have it pre-assembled if you've gone to the trouble of designing a modular replacable spare system on your robot.
Not that that's debatable if that's the rule and all. There's a goodly number of rather odd rules in there.
If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. - DB213parent [more]
