I think it's a great technical accomplishment. Personally, I wouldn't allow my team to do this because of the "P" in "GP." If we are training out kids to work in a professional manner, we must educate them on the proper use of trademarks and copyrights. Just as an English teacher shouldn't accept a plagiarized paper for academic credit, we shouldn't accept something that could get a "real" business in hot water just because of the cool factor of the idea.

As Tom has stated, this is not fair use of a copyright or trademarked item. What you are defining with your "no profit" statement falls more into those things in the Creative Commons area of intellectual property.
Whatever you decide, best of luck this season!

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
