Never heard anything like that but if you retool and repackage the robot how would anyone know? I was told the X-Cats used to cannibalize their old robots for parts but we like to keep the old robots intact if for nothing else as a learning tool (and it's really cool when you break them out for show). Over the years you can learn alot.

A lot of teams have been known to use their robots for parts. Why not? If something was manufactured and done well why not copy it or even use it...or if you just plain didn't have the parts because you can't afford to be buying more stuff, then you definitely should be able to use it. We keep our robots for the most part intact. We've got several on display and last years in our school. But teams should be able to do what they want with them. That's just what i think.
