yes, a team may only need the motors to pop in and hook up the rest of the electronics and they can drive, but what about the game itself?? what if the drive train they made of the off-season isnt up to the new rules of 2005, or the motors they intended on using are not allowed, or what if the drive train built won't help the team with what they hope to accomplish in the game next year. There are so many things you can throw around with "if this, if that" in the rules and the game, that an ultimate drive train that's created and work for this years game, may be worthless for next years.
