Has anyone actually been disqualified for this? It seems more like a moral guideline then an actual rule.
The only time I have seen a clear ability to enforce the rule was when a custom piece had an inspection sticker from a previous year on it. I also saw a team bring last years robot to a competition (I think it was 2011, and they brought a 2010 bot). I believe they packed up and left (if memory serves me right).
