IR Legalality in '08 Season

[Hieb]

I has seemed to me that it is always in the spirit of FIRST to plan, prototype, "tinker" if you will, during the "off-season." Just remember that if you create a really awesome custom circuit it will probably have to be tweaked and almost definitely have to be rebuilt in order to use it in competition. I doubt FIRST sent this to us with the intention of its use as a piece of decorative desktop art--plan, design, and come up with a million and one creative uses--but wait to build your competition plan until after the 5th.
