Question on "equivalence" in R71

Rule R71 states that
Quote:
Additional electronic components for use on the robot must be currently available from or equivalent to
those available from...
I know we are supposed to go with the spirit of the rule and not be lawyers but I couldn't find a way to resolve this in my own head. What exactly is the definition of equivalence? Does equivalence mean the same part number, the part accomplishes the same task, equal performance, the same type of part, the same manufacturer but a different part number... What?

I would like to use something from the same manufacturer that accomplishes the same goal and is the same type of part but it is a different part number than the FIRST supplyers sell. It has slightly different specs that are at no advantage or disadvantage to us whatsoever. For our uses, the parts are identical. The only reasons for the different one is cost and time.

So what do you think?
