I believe the "spirit" of the rule was so the cylinders could not perform actions beyond what they were manufactured to do. (i.e. what 45 and a few other teams did with tapping the mounting piece, wasn't intended to be used like that).

476's paintjob passes the "spirit" of the rule, but the "literal interpretation" may be their challange. I hope they don't have to fix the "problem" (if there is one).

This may be a 'closed loophole' though. Many teams have all but hunted for loopholes in the rules to get an advantage that another team may not have seen. I know the paintjob provides no advantage to the team, besides looking cooler, but it could be a judges call. Being that the judges are now teams, I'd expect their robot to be allowed to pass (which it should.)
