Fun fact, the FTC rule was written way back in the day when it was still FVC (FIRST VEX Challenge). That same rule was used in the new VRC for a few years, however we adopted the subsystem breakdown in response to teams trying to find ways around the rule and switch between robots during a tournament. As always, a simple rule became more complicated and bulletproof in an effort to stop some edge cases.
