Also, absolutely no part of our practice robot was used to get us through qualification/inspection on Thursday.
I am confused. Part of your apology implies that parts from a practice robot are not allowed to be used on your real robot as spares. I thought it was OK to use individual parts (not assemblies) from your practice robot if it was built during the 6 week build period. For example, if you take a drill motor (or even an angle bracket made during the 6 weeks) from your practice robot to replace a bad one on your real robot, what is wrong with that?
