With all the talk of GP and helping your opponents, why would they actually put that in the rules? I think it was probably to prevent 2 consecutive timeouts.

Of course, there is nothing stopping Wildstang from calling a timeout to touch up their tie-die paintjob provided it wasn't following another timeout.
Better not tell the Refs at Chesapeake that, we called a timeout in the 2nd finals match when clearly all of our alliance robots were ready so that one of our oppenents 1848 could make some repairs. Its all about being GP, and of course our official reason for the timeout was for changing batteries and letting motors cool
