This is totally against the spirit of FIRST, and gives an unfair advantage to those teams, and should not be allowed. It all comes down to if you think Dean would be upset, or not, with what those teams are doing.
I would like to know other views on this subject.

1) Search Before You Post, no really, discussed many times read those threads, might learn a thing or two.
2) So glad someone finally appointed themselves SPIRIT OF FIRST GESTAPO... again... You do what you think will inspire students I'll do what I think will inspire students. My team, my rules, as long as the students get inspired what difference does it make? Got 30 students and only enough room for 15 of em on one robot? MAKE 2 so they all get a chance, not against the spirit at all.
3) Unfair advantage, what stops you from building two robots? Nothing, if you don't like them beating you because of what you perceive as an advantage man up and do something about it. You can compete two ways in this world, rise up to their level or drag them down to yours. Me? I always want to rise to theirs, no matter what I learn something.
(Irritated by this post? There is a little scale, feel free to use it. I am sick and tired of people coming on here and saying Team X is un GP because of this, Team Y is not in the spirit of FIRST.)
