With all due respect to the GDC, this is a two sided coin. Welding was only made illegal recently due to the technical wording used in a series of Q&A questions,
after it was already declared legal. To say that teams trying to do the same thing are in the wrong is to say that the GDC is just as much in the wrong.
As the rules currently read - as long as bar is used there's no reason welding should be illegal (i.e. the justification for welding being illegal relies on the welding process breaking other rules). I'm surprised the GDC didn't think at least one team would want to weld a minibot; if they wanted to make that illegal why are they using such a convoluted rationale?
