Re: Modifying robot at competition?

The simple answer to the OP is that no event has ever been judged the way that you are looking for. It would defeat the spirit of teams cooperating in the pits to improve their robots.

Yes, T08 is in opposition to T10 and T11 if you read them straight without any background or interpretation. However, T08 appears to be intended for robots that arrived as multiple-configuration robots. In essence, it penalizes them with the weight penalty. Anything actually constructed at the event is legal in install as long as you pass a re-inspection.

Basically, it boils down to how to differentiate between a team who arrives with a inadvertently unusable robot (strategically useless, for instance) and a team who improves a functional robot.
