This is not breaking the rules since you are not bringing food in (it could be argued that maybe you're breaking the "spirit" of the rule, but at least at our Regional you do this or don't eat), and you still get cheaper food than you might find at the venue.

This is all good and fine in Arizona, but in wonderful Rochester where it was 38 degrees and raining, and a 10-15min walk+drive to get to your car and get to a food place, the option wasnt present.
FLR did do an awesome job with the preorder boxed lunches. And we took a huge advantage of that. And for my team (I think the reason this thread was started), my issue with the rule is that NO food was available dinnertime on thursday. It wasnt overpriced, it wasnt slop, it WASNT THERE. The concession stands were closed at 4pm. Our only option was to give up on our robot, our alliance partners in the morning, and go eat... or bring food in.
