I remember watching an offseason webcast back in 2008.

In 2008, 1519 built a robot for competition. The robot, IMO and many agree, was simply the circuit board. It had two "mechanism" configurations; a speedy lapper, and a hurdler. Both combined fit within the weight restriction. In many people's eyes, this was a perfect use of the "interchangeable MECHANISMs allowed provided all of them combined stay within the weight limit" rule. They had planned to use both interchangeably depending on their match texture (who they were with and against). HQ instead decided that they had built 2 ROBOTs, and would only be allowed to compete with one of them in FIRST events.

At the offseason I'm remembering, they built a second circuit board, and ran the lapping bot as '9151'. For some reason I seem to recall a similar scenario, where the team's two bots ended up head to head in the Elims.
