I think people have a pretty narrow view of how cheating works. Very rarely is it a group of people going "yeah, we want an advantage, let's blatantly just break the rules!". It's people bending little things, overlooking small things. "Oh, we don't need to unbolt the CIM from that mechanism to make the withholding allowance, it's pointless if we're just going to put it back on". "You know, we machined these wheels in December, but why waste the time making new ones?" It's small decisions at the fringe of rules rationalized by individuals somehow.

It seems like it would be a lot easier for teams to rationalize giving their arm operator twenty minutes on the sticks at a demo now than before, no? Or giving the programmers time to debug and update the code - "yeah it's technically work but the robot has to look good for this demo, right?"

I'm not overly concerned, but it's more of a possibility now than before.
