Re: Odd things the rules allow, and should probably be changed

I would call that a far-fetched idea.

Try, instead, a team (or six, or some other number) bringing in RAW MATERIAL (that is, anything that is COTS or not already a FABRICATED ITEM), and, at the event, forming a group that would assist any team to upgrade their robot. That's far more plausible. In fact...

With similar rules on said items, there have more than once been concerted efforts to literally (quite literally) build a robot for a team that showed up without their own robot.
