I'm condemning nothing, nor am I saying teams shouldn't attempt to improve on their robots over the season. In the context of a competition all of the participants need to be judged on a level playing field. Just like in a foot race you don't give the rich kids a head start, for the context of determining the ranking you shouldn't give the rich teams an advantage.
If a team wants to rank highly to qualify for the Minnesota championships, then they should make deliver a quality robot to their first event.
