We were wondering if we could use it and if we can, if we could have the measurements, schematics, any information on how to build it, and a BOM? Thank you.

If you don't hear anything back from the original poster, go ahead. Anything posted on Chief Delphi (especially if posted by the team that developed it) is implicitly understood to be an idea that is "published" to the FRC community, even within build/competition season. After seven years, it's difficult to even imagine anyone taking offense that you copied elements of a design not intended for competition. Acknowledging that you borrowed an idea, inspiration, or design on something produced by another FRC team is a good and laudable example of GP. To quote "young Spock" from Star Trek (2009): "It is morally praiseworthy but not morally obligatory."

(On an unrelated note, I have hoped for the last several years that someone with the appropriate video editing skills would accompany Supertramp's "The Logical Song" audio to video of Spock throughout Star Trek history, and especially young Spock in 2009. Hint! Hint!)
