Old Victors and Spike Relays

[FRC1995]

Just wanted to check on rule <R36> concerning old IFI KOP components

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)

Are Victor 884 Speed Controllers and Spike Relays from the 2007 KOP legal to use as on 2008 robots in addition to those in the 2008 KOP?

Yes. Note that they must still be properly accounted for under the Cost Accounting Rules in Section 8 of The Manual.
