Does this mean that the robot that you ship is not the one you use in competition? Or am I mistaken..
I think what Ed is saying is that the "original" robot is the prototype 'bot, in which they work out all the bugs. Then in a shortened perid of time, toward the end of the build period, they are able to build the "real" robot using "re-manufactured" parts. And this is the robot that they ship, and with which they compete.
