Reusing Lock Nuts

Has anyone successfully reused nylock nuts and tested them in battle? When you unscrew and reuse, they appear to be tight the second time around, but I'd hate to see them disintegrate on the field. While the relative economics of entering a bot in the competition might say "throw them away", I've always had an aversion to needless waste.

The team has finally consented to disassemble last year's bot & summer projects, in preparation for THE GAME (lose!).
