100% correct. So now let's think at the edge of the box.
My presumption is that if I were on an FTC team that had 4-8 Nobel Prize winning mini-bots that were as fast as Dave eating a Krispy Kreme and were also equipped with a universal Hostbot-interface for deployment and activiation; I would be able to walk into any FRC competition; do a demo on the practice field; and almost immediately become affilated with a new-best-friend FRC team.
I'll even bet that the FRC team would let me take home any Coopertition trophy that we earned together.
So long as "affiliation" doesn't have any special meaning beyond cooperating during the tournament's 3 days, then going stag sounds reasonable to me.
