I still don't see anything in the rules to justify how you're using the word "robot". You obviously have your own idea of what a "robot" is, independent of what the rules say (or fail to say).

Would you accept a team that designed a robot with a replaceable drivebase? Unbolt the tank drive module and bolt on the Mecanum drive module. Your comment about "same robot under it all" would seem to reject this as a valid option, but there's nothing in the rules making it illegal so far as I can tell.
