I would venture a guess the robot was inspected with the KOP 30A breakers in the fuse box, the team convinced the inspector that was all their robot needed, and later they ran into trouble and improvised (40A fuses).

There is a fine point between seeing a problem on another teams robot, helping them to fix it, or reporting them to the inspectors. If someone really wants to cheat all they have to do is move the wires to bypass the breaker box completely, and I doubt anyone would notice

except maybe for the pillar of smoke billowing from their bot.
