Go to Post Build season is the best time of the year. Better than Christmas because the presents are cooler, and better than new years cause you get to stay up later. - burkey_turkey [more]

One of these parts lacks any sort of electronics, motors, controls, or anything that could really make it considered a robot on its own merits; any movement from this part would require the other part--the real robot--to drive it. Could this arrangement be operated with two drivers?
Bill you come up with the most interesting questions, makes me wonder what is up your sleeve.

The idea behind this rule was that someone wouldn't come up with a robot that was really two robots and thus transport more objects faster. But actually this would be covered by the rule only one item can be transported at a time, so maybe the rule was unnecessary.

So as long as you are not transporting more than one object at a time and contain more than one object at a time then you are OK. Your definition of the second part of the robot in my mind is just an extension of the robot.

So to answer your question, it is OK.
