At what point does improving a robot become a new one all together? I have no issues with improving a robot, but when you pour your heart and soul into a robot that you call your own, then 95% of it gets replaced by someone else is it really you improving your bot?

I have great love and respect for the teams involved, it just makes me sad to see whole robots thrown aside.
