Yes, it happened last year in Milwaukee. More Robotics broke and were asked to join the alliance. In one of the best declines I ever heard, the team rep explained the robot had a fault that could not be corrected in time and offered all of their scouting data to the alliance that asked them. I am very happy to know them and believe them to be a World Class Team for showing the ultimate in GP.
