Are we allowed to reuse the pan/tilt servo mounts that came in last year's KOP this year?
Quote:
<R36> COTS ITEMS from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS MECHANISMS that are no longer commercially available may be used under the following conditions:
* The item must be unmodified, and still in its original condition as delivered from the VENDOR
* The item must not be a part custom made for the FIRST competition and provided in the Kit Of Parts for a previous FIRST Robotics Competition (e.g. 2006 FRC transmissions, custom-made motor couplers, custom sensor strips, 2006 IFI CMUcam II modules, etc. are not permitted)
* The item must satisfy ALL of the rules associated with materials/parts use for the 2008 FIRST Robotics Competition)

R36 seems to suggest that it would be illegal, because it's a "part custom made for the FIRST competition," but IFI is selling them, so they're COTS.
Explanation?
