I agree that nobody will care about the paint and I think the rule is more meant for the teams that have the resources to build two robots and the like.

I read that rule to keep the 6 weeks at 6 weeks and not more which some teams can do... its especially frustrating to programming because in the past, thats when we finally got the practice robot and could fix bugs if any were there and the like, also get some driver feedback on smoothing and joystick corrections.

Overall, I like the rule. I sincerely hope that painting an OI wouldnt be against the spirit of the rules.
