SKyway wheels from 2006 KOP

[FRC2669]

Is using the Skyway wheels from 2006 KOP legal?
Is using the Hubs and sprockets from the KOP in this year legal? The hubs are no longer a COTS item, but it is a small detail and we have been wondering if a special rulling regarding those hubs could be made.

Also, the 2007 and 2008 wheel sprockets are slightly different from each other. Does that mean that using the 2007 once would be considered illegal?

Thanks.

The Skyway wheels provided in the 2006 Kit Of Parts are off-the-shelf items that are still commercially available. As such, they may be used on 2008 competition robots.

The wheel hubs provided in the 2006 Kit Of Parts were custom made items for FIRST. As such, they can not be used in the 2008 Competition, under Rule <R36>. Likewise, the custom sprockets provided in the 2007 Kit Of Parts can not be used on 2008 competition robots. Commercial items that are very similar in function are available and may be modified to suit your needs.
