Oh yeah? Team 108 was using engineers in a cart. I'll have to get the pictures and post them later. Basically, we had an engineer (our team leader at that) locked in a cage to hold an arm made out of PVC. After realizing what exactly we were doing, we figured, "Hey, why build a real robot?" We had everything figured out perfectly, We'd tell FIRST he got stuck during construction and we can't get him out without dismantling the whole robot, thus he must stay in until competition's over. Another advantage to this scheme is that we'll be the only team with a robot that can get worked on even after the pits close. We just have to leave the tools within arm's reach of the bot....
I don't think it would ever make weight requirements. Perhaps if you had a little kid in there?
