I got answers from FIRST (Eric)

PLEASE post here if you got some answers also so we do not have to wait for the official update. Here is what I got:
1) We are NOT allowed any gears or chain off-the-shelf. You have to buy them from Small Parts or make them yourself (boy, I'm glad our shop got that new wire EDM). I did mention to him that the gears that interfaces with the drill motor is a metric gear not available from Small Parts (M.7). He says he will look into it.
2) The big ball DOES count if it is supported off the ground in any way by the goal and is not touching the field parts or any robots. So goals on their sides may be used to prop up the big balls.
3) I asked about a bunch of field dimensions. I'm still waiting for a call back from Ron Rioux.
