Something like that is in order, just for the sake of clarity. As a result of <R15>, design and construction of prototypes is unlimited—so anything that's designed before kickoff is a prototype, until it is designated to become part of the robot on or about the kickoff day (when actual fabrication of the part begins). |
I agree. <R16> needs rewriting as suggested.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
