Well then you shouldn't believe everything you hear.
I heard some team removed their robot from the pits at nats so they could work on it at night!
I heard someone saw a robot being taken inside a hotel!
But I don't believe any of it unless I saw it with my own eyes
Luckily most people are honest enough not to do what you describe. A few teams have the resources to take a set of plans and hand them to a shop, and get the finished parts for say a gearbox, arm, etc in the timeframe you just described. Doesn't mean they cheated though
