Quoted was rule 16 but if you look at previous rule you will read:
<R15> Prior to the Kick-off: Before the formal start of the robot Build Season, teams are encouraged to think as much as they please about their robots. They may develop prototypes, create proof-of-concept models, and
conduct design exercises. Teams may gather all the raw stock materials and COTS items they want. But absolutely no fabrication or assembly of any elements intended for the final robot is permitted prior to the Kick-off presentation. Any MECHANISMS assembled prior to the Kick-off presentation may be used for prototyping or educational purposes, but MAY NOT be used on the final ROBOT.
Wins = Attention
Attention = Sponsors
Sponsors = Money
Money= being able to do more.
a vicious cycle...but it is what it is - Protronie [more]
