Withholding Allowance

[JamesCH95]

I was really peeved when I first read that a team had brought two robots (note the un-capitalized usage). But then I read through this thread and arrived at the conclusion that what the Zebracorns had done was perfectly legal by the letter of the rules.

(1) The withholding allowance does not apply because everything was bagged at the right time
(2) There is no rule precluding bagging an illegal ROBOT. This includes robots that have too many Athenas, too many radios, weigh roughly twice as much as they should, and violate the cost rule
(3) As long as the ROBOT that touched carpet was inspected as legal they violated no rules

It is a brilliant interpretation of the rules, and I applaud the Zebracorns for their critical thinking and confidence.
