A practical impossibility, but interesting to consider.

For the first time, we are possibly planning to do some major reconfiguration of our robot between competitions. We very much want to understand the legalities of how top teams use the weight limit, weight witholding, and reconfiguration rules to make reconfigurations such as this.

It would be interesting to see if 3847 makes a post about what they did in Arkansas.
