I wont follow up on this anymore, but as a great mentor just told me three seconds ago,
If they want to win that bad, let 'em
Please do not use "Gracious Prefessionalism" against us. We follow the rules. One wing is complete at 15 pounds. The other wing is not complete, and both wings together add up to be below the 25 pound limit.

Here is what we are doing. When we get there we will swap one wing. The old win that is taken off will be taken apart and the spars which are the two arms that attach to our robot will be taken out. They will then be put into the 2nd new wing. The 2nd new wing therefore is not fully assembled and we do not have all the parts made for it. We are using old parts off the robot to make the new second wing.

Therefore we are withing the rules and under the weight limit especially since we did it within the 5 hour work windows allowed. If you have any questions about that you can contact me. I do not appreciate being accused of cheating, accusing a team of such is not being very "Gracious" or "Professional" now is it?
