The Constructed Devices Policy of VASO states the judging conditions under which teams are allowed to use kits to build the devices for VASO tournaments.  Because Rule 3a specifically allows for kits to be used in the construction of the aircraft, Event Supervisors will not apply the "Use of Kits" portion of the policy to craft built from kits.  In other words, Event Supervisors will not require that the devices built from complete kits to be substantially and materially customized.  However, teams should carefully evaluate any kit for compliance with the current year rules - even kits that claim that they are Science Olympiad approved.
