Deliver a cad model of a robot that other people believe could be just as functional as 118's robot in four weeks and I'll back you on everything you've said so far. Individual subsystems don't count, because those are copied year in and year out, that's just how engineering works. And if you "don't forsee any team taking...up on this offer to copy [a robot] (or any robot), spending plenty of manhours and thousands of dollars for [what could be a legal robot if they used their withholding weight correctly]", then you seem to be contradicting your previous statements that teams *would* in fact do this.
You're spewing a lot of BS with no backing and everything you claim to be fact is all hypothetical theory.

Not sure what made you think I don't think robots improving is a bad thing. I am merely attempting to imply that full robot copies aren't as far fetched as others may seem to think it is.
As for the challenge to "design a robot" that is almost identical to 118, maybe I will take you up on that offer outside of competition season. My other commitments come before proving some person on the internet wrong.
