 Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more] |

Re: 2004 Electrical Component Rule Rationale
I am sure the new rules regarding what are "Legal vendors" will get a lot of discussion in the coming days.
Bottom line is simple: FIRST is trying to control the cost of the robots as well as make sure parts are available to all teams. Many reasons for this, the best being allowing teams with very small limited budgets to compete with teams that have sponsors and a slightly larger budget. Keeping costs down is VERY important. |
