What is the worst that could happen?

I dont know if many students are aware of this, but FIRST has a psuedo-official Prime Directive for mentors: Dont let you team fail to have the opportunity to compete (dont show up at an event with a robot that cannot / willnot function at all).
That would be the worst that can happen. You create a frame that ends up being damaged and you have no way to fix or replace it. You are not allowed to bring the resins on the aircraft. You are not allowing to fabricate new parts, or fix broken parts at an event because the chemicals and the dust are hazardous.
Your team ends up being spectators with a fancy statue on the playfield (that looks like a robot).
That would be the worse that can happen.
Its a risk the team must assess. You must have workarounds and a plan B before you take a new approach.
