This should be a no brainer:

So, unless I'm missing the point, there is no problem.
EDIT: OK, now I see that there may be an issue with what teams are allowed to do with "broken or malfunctioning COMPONENTS" that they took home from the last regional. However, to argue that they must manufacture an upgraded arm rather than upgrading the old one would be just plain silly.
