A. There are no Rules prohibiting this.

As an inspector, I would have no problem with a disc being part of your robot. Just be forewarned that another inspector may question it, so I would recommend having a print out of the above referenced Q&A item (from the Q&A web page, not from CD) handy. Make sure to paint it some color besides red, white, or blue, as even with holes in it, with the speed things move on the field it could be hard for the referees to keep track of it otherwise. And you want to make sure that other teams will not have a reason to be asking if your robot was holding 5 discs at times during the match.
