Jim,

I agree and I cannot contain my opinion any longer either.

Here is a typical scenario for us: We get the kit and rules, look at the additional HW list and SPI catalog and start ordering parts right away so we do not run into the later stock crunch.

The problem is that we inventory many parts in bins and those bins may contain the same parts that we bought last year. Dog gone it, they are identical!!! Now that we got this update of the rules, am I expected to go back and figure which ones are form last year and which ones are from this year??

This rule makes me angry (the little devil on my right shoulder is beating up on the little angel on my right :-). I am trying to follow the rules as best I can and I feel guilty if I don't. So I have to apologize in advance to the FIRST community if I cannot sort through my parts and be totally legit.

I guess I may just have to tell the inspectors that I am not actually sure if all my Small Parts are purchases from this year. My excuse to them will be that the rule came out late, I had mixed my parts and was not able to sort identical parts. Then they can choose to disqualify us if the wish. They may suggest we replace the potential suspected parts or they may agree with me that the rule is silly.

And, I am afraid to ask if the same rule applies to spares. Are we allowed to use the kit parts from last year (seat motors, window motors, etc.) as spares to repair broken parts?

I don't know what the motivation for this rule is. You will have a hard time convincing me that it has anything to do with making it fairer for the rookies.

OK, I got that out of my system - back to work.

Raul
