Let's See if We can Muddy the Waters More

O.k. Lawyer Joe (or is it Joe Johnson, PLC Attorney at Law),

What about this scenario.

Team makes 2 robots simultaneously ( a production line) and runs the prototype robot to test stuff out. Oh no, gearbox A fails and we need to do a redesign. Design done, new parts made for both robots, both robots replaced (week 4). test prototype more, find out theory for gearbox B is flawed (don't say "I told you so ... CVT"), but main robot has already shipped (with both gearbox A and B on board). We modify gearbox B on prototype and make tooling to aid in creation of gearbox B revision 2 at competition.

Team wants to bring the prototype robot to competition, but will fabricate changes for the competition robot at the competition. Is the tooling legal to use in order to aid in fabrication?

What happens if the gearbox gets destroyed at the competition and we need the spare that we brought with us? (I think this is illegal, by the way)

Also, I did not interpret the rules like you did. We plan on bringing our spare robot home.

This situation is not hypothetical .. it is real. Every situation described in this post is what happened to us. How are we with respect to the rules?


-Paul
