I think building an entire new robot crosses the line, and I think the new rule about requiring alliances to use robots to their full potential, which I took as no longer parking and cabling a bot, probably precludes that.
The situation you describe above is why the rules about cheesecaking need to be flexible. Helping a team improve their bot and make it competitive is an important aspect of the FRC experience. It certainly falls withing gracious professionalism.
