I had heard rumor that that mistake had been made several times earlier, but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.

I'm curious on the cost account rules for broken hockey sticks.

Presumably, if they are recovered from a garbage can they can be accounted as "zero cost".

We used a couple of broken carbon fibre sticks courtesy of the Portland Winterhawks (who share the Memorial Colliseum in Portland) when our floor hockey sticks turned out to not be quite as flexible as we had assumed... at least not when driven by "Crash" as she was quickly renamed.

Team 20 used them in 2007 for sure, but from what I understand (depending on what you choose) they can be fairly expensive.

Depending on this years rules as always...Based on previous years you would need to account for the cost of the brand new stick(s). And the new price could not be over $400 per stick. This is because not all teams have access to broken hockey sticks at a discount price. The only benifit your team recieves is not actually having to spend the money, you do however have to account for it in the $3,500 robot price tag.
