    Default Additional 24 tooth #35 sprockets

    To power all six of the wheels in our robot's drive train, we would like to use four additional sprockets identical to the two 24 tooth #35 sprockets that were included in the kit-of-parts. We have been unable to find a vendor that sells identical sprockets; however, we have found two other FRC teams that do not plan to use the sprockets that came in their kits and are willing to barter them to us in exchange for other parts. May we use additional kit-of-parts sprockets that we obtain from other teams?

    Default Wheel Sprockets

    It appears that wheel sprockets that came in the KOP are not COTS items, as they have a custom bore and bolt circle. $@#R43 states that "teams may only use non-Kit-of-Parts $@#items that are generally available from suppliers such that any other FIRST team, if it so desires, may also obtain them at the same price." Would this mean that teams are not allowed to use KOP wheel sprockets obtained from other teams?

    The sprockets provided in the 2007 Kit of Parts were custom manufactured for FIRST and are not COTS parts. As such, only the two 24-tooth sprockets received in the Kit may be used on your Robot. Teams are welcome to fabricate equivalent parts from COTS items.
