not really. The animation was created for the orignal rules set, and those 'bots were legal then (I think). Later, the GDC decided that it was unsafe, and changed the rule accordingly. It's unlikely that Dave ran his 'bots through a vigorus inspection to see if they were legal. afterall it's just meant to get the concept across.
On another note: We're unaffected by the changed, as we are not able to extend outside of our original footprint, and the collector mech. can't be easily reversed.
