Yes and no. I have maintained since I started doing FIRST in 2001 that teams who play to the spirit of the rules don't run afoul of exactly these kinds of issues. It's a risk, and sometimes it pays off (469 in 2010) and sometimes it doesn't.
There's something to be said for innovative gamesmanship, but there's something to be said for doing what you ***KNOW*** is legal. Any time you think, "this is particularly clever!" you may well be right -- but just because it's particularly clever doesn't mean it won't bite you.
