If you say 254 brought it for 22, then 254 should never be able to use it and it shouldn't even be in their pit tempting them.

EDIT: I think the real problem is the lack of guidance from FIRST on the legality of collaborating and teams trading parts at regionals.
<R24> Teams may bring a maximum of 25 pounds of custom FABRICATED ITEMS (SPARE PARTS, REPLACEMENT PARTS, and/or UPGRADE PARTS) to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their robot at the competition site. All other FABRICATED ITEMS to be used on the robot during the competition must arrive at the competition venue packed in the shipping crate with the robot.

Following that definition, I still see the situation I posed as being legal. Team 22 would have brought them to competition, following every limitation per R24
