For what it's worth, I agree with Andy. However, the real message here is not that AM Shifters, purchased before 2007 Kickoff, either are or are not legal for 2007 FRC events. The message is that this is an unresolved question.

We all (teams, volunteers, suppliers, etc.) need an official response from the GDC, on the FIRST Q&A Forum, to settle the question. And soon.

I'm fairly sure that the question has been submitted and that the question and the response will be published together in due course.

EDIT: A related response has been published, saying that the AndyMark AM-2 shifter would be considered a COTS MECHANISM.

Fredi,

New advice... just use the unmodified Trannies off of your robot from last year. Oddly enough, those are legal.

Andy,

You leave me more confused than ever. In the First Q&A they sound like they've ruled the AM Shifter as a mechanism and mechanisms are not allowed from previous robots per <R28>. What am I missing?
