Where did the generous team get that kit-bot chassis? was it brought into the venue in un-assembled form? Did they run back to the shop or trailer and pick it up? was it counted as part (most) of their 45 pound allowance? What about all the other items that were donated?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should be penalized for helping out, and I don't think any of whatever happened should be against the rules. I am just putting it out there as food for thought.

Flame on.
In that kind of situation, I assume it would be a local team that had the kitbot chassis at their shop. I would also guess that they asked the LRI if they could do it, and they allowed it. One of the primary goals of inspectors is to make sure all teams get out on the field. If that's the case, the LRI (who has the final say in that situation) may have allowed it.
