Re: Cheesecake: How far is too far?

While I didn't find this text in this year's manual, I believe R1 from 2014 is relevant:

Quote:
4.1.1 R1
Each registered FRC team may enter only one (1) ROBOT (or ‘Robot’, which to a reasonably astute observer, is a
Robot built for FRC) into the 2014 FRC. The ROBOT must be built by the FRC Team to perform specific tasks when
competing in AERIAL ASSIST. The ROBOT must include all of the basic systems required to be an active participant
in the game – power, communications, control, and mobility. The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a
design approach intended to play AERIAL ASSIST (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a
ROBOT designed to play a different game would not satisfy this definition)
[emphasis mine]
If a team A picks team B in elimination simply to utilize ONLY team A's prefabricated cheesecake parts, that violates the spirit of this rule. Teams get to enter one robot, not two.
