 I continue in FIRST because I'm not looked down upon for not knowing how to do something, but held up because I want to learn. - LemmingBot [more] |

Using local companies to make parts for us
Question #2:
We found the plans for a gear box posted on the Chief Delphi site. They were posted by another team. As we do not have a machine shop at our school, a local company has offered to make the parts for us and we will assemble it and use it in our robot. Is this permitted by the rules? |

Re: Using local companies to make parts for us
Parts are allowed to be bought off shelf, or custom manufactured by students or sponsors. Therefore, this is legal.
We have a local machine shop sponsor that does our transmission each year. |

Re: Using local companies to make parts for us
See the manual, specifically <R41>, <R46> (the Part Use Flowchart), and 5.3.4.4 Additional Parts - Cost Determination. Unless the machine shop is officially a team sponsor, you need to count the fabrication labor in the cost accouting you provide to the inspectors, even if the labor is donated.
