Pre-manufactured control box for FIRST

Going by rules about COTS (commercial off the shelf) parts, you may be opeing up a bigger can of worms than you are realizing. BY 2005 rules anyways.

I believe the rules about COTS state that it has to be made readily available to everyone. Even if half the teams use it, you still have to have enough for 1000 or more teams.

Are you ready to get into that?

As an alternative, I suggest since you have CAD, make plans and sell the plans instead.

Then you are complying to everyone, it will be a lot cheaper on your part, and you don't have to carry full size custom enclosures in stock.

I think a one or 2 page cad drawing, & assembly instructions with a materials list can work.

Good luck.
