I would like to start the official thread for a new tradition of trading pants at competitions for FIRST Power Up! I am always interested in trading with other teams, and I know many others are as well! If you want to submit a proposal, no matter where you’re from, here is the place to put it!
I have a pair of chinos, 29x32, that I am willing to trade. Right now I’m looking for pants from 1756, 2194, 4039, and/or 2512. Let me know if you’re in!
I’m down for shorts but I gotta lay down some ground rules:
S01. Team numbers must be displayed and positioned on the POSTERIOR such that an observer walking around the perimeter of the WEARER can unambiguously tell the Team’s number from any point of view and meet the following additional criteria:
A. consist of Arabic numerals at least 4 in. (~11 cm) high, at least 1⁄2 in. (~12.7 mm) in stroke width, and be either white in color or outlined in white with a minimum 1/16 in. (~1.6mm) outline
B. may not substitute logos or icons for numerals
S02. SHORTS must be designed for quick and easy installation and removal
As a guideline, SHORTS should be able to be installed or removed by
two (2) people in fewer than five (5) minutes.
S03. SHORTS must be located entirely within the SHORTS ZONE, which is the volume contained
between the floor and a virtual horizontal plane 36 in. (~19 cm) above the floor in reference to
the WEARER standing normally on a flat floor.
Generally speaking, shorts should be no longer than 12 inches and should fit tightly against the WEARER PERIMETER.
In the case of any ambiguity in the rules, the ultimate decision would be determined by the PANTS INSPECTORS at your event, with the final call made by the Head PANT INSPECTOR.
