Sure teams can lend each other spare parts and give each other advice, but I think its pretty unlikely that you will see many teams reporgramming other teams bots in the 1/2 hour or so that they have to prepare for matches.
I think it's possible, but very hard indeed. The problem comes with having time to test it.
