The part about rule <R114>: We only have one robot. According to us, the "robot" is the electrical board. The two bases are the attachments. All parts would be presented at the inspection. The rule says that we can use a subset of the mechanisms in a match, which we would have done.
I guess the point which makes or breaks the decision is what you define as the "basic robot structure" in rule <R12>. We call that the electrical board. The GDC calls it the robot frame.
Such a pity they didn't allow it.
