But I'm confident no FIRST teams would do that.

Intentionally, you mean. There have been several that did something like that accidentally, not realizing it was against the rules. The fun part is when you put the bag on in the parking lot... in full view of the inspectors watching for teams to come in... Not sure exactly what happened with that one, but I believe the LRI was called over.

I'm sure it's a case of them wanting to be able to update the manual as late as possible before releasing it.

Wow. Hopefully, anybody reading this thread is at least checking the basics.

You'd be surprised.

I did specify this thread, and I did qualify it with hope rather than express certainty. Both were intentional.
