I agree, but to be legal, you'd have to be ready to make and ship transmissions to all the teams in FIRST in short order. Either you're going to have to have a lot of machining capacity, or you're going to have to build a few hundred transmissions. Neither particularly sounds like it's worth the trouble.

(But hey, if someone wants to go through the trouble of creating a legit business (and the other requirements for a FIRST-legal supplier under the most recent rule set), I don't see the trouble.)
