Someone who knows more might be able to provide more context, but it seems like that definition was specifically in response to 1519's robot(s) from that year.
I think you're right. The parts that they were moving from one chassis to the other wouldn't qualify as a "ROBOT".

I know there was finally a definition of a ROBOT put into the rules following Overdrive. I congratulated Ken S - not too many teams get their own rule. The fact that FLL had a definition for at least 5 years prior to that ...
