There are any number of reasons that building a second robot could be a bad / prohibited / expensive / unnecessary / duplicative / silly / wasteful (pick your preferred adjective) idea. Regardless of the specific cause, any team thinking of making this type of purchase/financial commitment needs to be asking certain fundamental questions: Do we really need to make this purchase right now, before we know the rules, conditions, restrictions, and opportunities that will be associated with the 2010 season? If we do need to make the purchase/commitment right now, are we prepared to absorb that cost as a loss if it turns out that you can't, or don't want to, use the items when the season is unveiled in January?

I agree with your overall message, but just curious, what are your reasons for thinking a second robot is a bad idea?
