A couple of years ago we witnessed a team do exactly this but with a human player instead of a driver. We lost a regional because of it. More specifically, the other alliance gained a huge advantage since they had two human players who could load their own robot.
A couple of our students were quite mad/frustrated with me that I would not contest it but winning or replaying matches because the other side broke the rules is not how we want to win. From our reading that year, the rules actually prohibited this and have since. Notice that I said "the rules" and not the "spirit of the rules" or "spirit of FIRST".
But hey, what do I know about cheesecaking?
