They trust that you're being honest and following the rules. Just like with the robot - sure, you can build an awesome transmission, chassis, control system, etc during the off-season, use that part on your robot, and the judges and other teams will be none the wiser. But we've been taught this thing called gracious professionalism - disrespecting other teams by showing an obvious disregard for set rules is not at all part of this ethos.

Would your grandmother be proud of you breaking the rules just 'cause you can?
