Again, I want to put out there that I am not insinuating that any team would have done any of the hypotheticals I'm stating. Just starting a discussion to see what people's thoughts on it would have been.

As I said a little bit earlier, the mechanism was still 1114 and hadn't been handed to us. We knew it was a very long shot and so many things could go wrong. At NO point in time did 1114 make us any promises.
Had some other alliance chosen us, that alliance would have been offered two choices, a drive train which they could strap things on, or reassembling our original robot.
Regardless of what team chose us, we would have done our absolute best to do our most for that alliance. Part of the reason we didn't start disassembling our first robot until AFTER our last qualifying match was we didn't believe it would be fair to the teams we were competing with.
All of that said, I'm not sure 1114 would have been able to find another robot small and light enough to pull off adding the "crossbow". 1114 will have to answer to what their plans were if someone else chose us first.
