Well, not
junk exactly. Your
junk-bot would have to pass inspection before you could pile it in the corner.
Seriously, I can see both sides of this one. If the rule hadn't been changed, there would have likely been some teams put in the position TVan describes above, and what kind of inspiration is that?
But I can also see the side that says you don't change the rules in the middle of the game. (Jump in any time, Tristan.)

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.
