One account, and I think they're only really answered once a week at this point in time. If you're going to develop this and you have a Week 4 event, you'd no sooner get a ruling than you'd have to pack up the vacuum.

Also remember: some of the folks on CD are inspectors of various stripes. Those are the folks who'd ultimately have to pass the robot or not pass it at the event. They can contact the GDC if they need to, but they'll usually use the checklist or the Manual first.
