Re: Fairness. I can't remember which year it was but 5-6 years ago this was discussed at the kickoff.

I clearly remember Dean and/or Woody saying, (I'm paraphrasing here) "Yes, we know it's not an even playing field. It's not fair. But it's not designed to be. This is real life". (I'm sure someone will remember the year, and/or come up with the video).

Forget about who built someone else's robot. Have fun and celebrate in the success your team had and challenges that were overcome. That's what the competitions are about. All competitor's are to be valued equally regardless of their position in the rankings and who built what.
