a good number of teams modify or change their bot during off-season. For 1, its fun for those who enjoy building. 2) its great training for the less experienced builders, or new members, and everyone in general. 3) it gets the team together more, so more team bonding goes on.

Modifying robots for off-season events is fine, especially when you are doing it because your robot doesnt work.

we are changing our ball collector, mostly since it was mostly destroyed (we had fun today doing our own version of the Office Space scene where they destroy the fax machine in a field, just because it was such a pain, ad wasnt usable anyways).
