Re: 1519 - One Dual-Config Robot or Two Robots?
I believe the problem comes down to this:

A team's INTERPRETATION of the rules versus the GDC's INTENTION of the rules.

This "intention" word seems to have shown up quite frequently in the Q&A. The GDC seems to have developed a vision of how they want this game to be played. And they seem to be allowing this vision to affect their rulings in the Q&A.

There appear to be only two ways to remedy this:

1) The GDC needs to put their "intentions" in the 2009 rule book.

2) The GDC needs to refrain from ruling based upon their "intentions" and rule purely by the rules as they are written.
