The plate we brought with us was cut to fit the robot. A second plate (installed prior to competing at Southern CA) was removed and large holes were cut into both plates at the Nationals to compensate for the added weight.
The whole point of the story is that considerable repairs can be made at the competitions, but sometimes work needs to be done beforehand in order for teams to compete. If we were forced last year to adhere to the rules as they stand now, I don't think that we would have had a working robot at Nationals.
I am certain that this will happen this year to more than one team unless some sort of repair parts are allowed.
