Kris,
In most cases, I agree with your post. However, with Ken's case in particular, you are assuming too much. You cannot just assume that a part on a practice robot was tweaked or modified since kickoff. If it was, then I would bet money that Ken would not bring that part into the arena.
Over all of the years I have been in this, Ken has been the most picky stickler about rules that I know. He pretty much sets the standard with regard to this kind of stuff. Ken walks the walk and leads by example. Many of us look up to him because of this.
If he brings in a part, it is definitely a spare part that was un-modified since ship date. I don't care if it was on his practice robot or if it was his paperweight on his desk for the past 4 weeks.
just my opinion,
Andy B.
