Thank you for pointing this out. I was not with our machinist when the team was making the replacement bracket. From what I remembered work was done early in the morning and quickly brought over at UCF for competition.

This makes more sense that we missed the first three matches when we started fabrication in the morning (when pits opened). I am pretty sure the brackets would have been done if we worked on them late the night before. I am confident that our pit crew is aware of the rules on fabrication.

Sorry for misinforming you all.

unless the machine shop was made avaliable to all teams, I believe this would still be a violation of <R21>

Please allow me to check with the pit crew to see what exactly went on. I do not want to convey any information that I do not know.

Here is the scoop, and it's kind of embarrassing for a veteran team like ours. We did, in fact, violate <R21>. Work was done in our shop, which is not available to other teams. I hadn't read these rules in a long time, and apparently neither had anyone else on the team. This will be a major learning experience for all of our team members. We need to read the rules, all of them, and then comply.

UCF is over and there is nothing we can do about what happened there, but Las Vegas and the Championship lie ahead for us. What we will do to be completely legal for those events is to use the "FIX-IT WINDOWS" described in <R22> to remake the reinforcing bracket for our tower. We will install the remade parts on Thursday at Vegas.
