Answered: Are set screws considered a "comercialy available screw"

[Bill_Gaines]

<R7> c. Any commercially available #4, #6, #8, M2, M2.5, M3 or M4 screw up to 2" long, and any commercially available nut and/or washer to fit these screws.

Can a #8 set screw be used instead of cutting the head off of the basic #8 screw? One of my teams wants to extend the threaded spacer to a longer length than that which is supplied from Vex.

Yes, this is legal.
