I would like to point out that the name of last years game was Rebound Rumble. The graphics for the game were basketballs. The year before was Logo Motion. The challenge is to build a robot to play the game, with the goal of winning.
If you do not attempt to build a robot to play the game are you trying to meet the challenge or are you trying to disrupt others that did attempt to meet the challenge.
I understand that resources limit what a team can do. But I have seen teams with very limited resources do well.
Trying and failing is one thing but not trying is another.

The National Football League plays a game called [American] football. The league's logo contains a football. Yet, only three of the twenty-two players on the field at any given point touch the football on a typical play. Eleven of the twenty-two players are actively attempting to disrupt the others. Four of the offensive players (the linemen other than the center) may spend their entire career without ever handling a "live" ball.
