Define "ROBOT"

This thread is inspired by this thread.

Just a quick summary of what's going on: 1519 built two robots this year. One hurdler and one small lap-runner. The two collectively fit within all size, weight, and budget constraints. The bumpers for the pair of robots weigh under 15 pounds. They argued that the two robots were simply different start configurations. At inspection, they were refused by the GDC. the GDC's arguement was, basically, that if it looks like two robots, it is two robots.

So, this is what FIRST already gives us for definitions of "ROBOT".

Code:
A FIRST robot is a remotely operated vehicle designed and built by a FIRST Robotic Competition team
to perform specific tasks when competing in the 2008 competition “FIRST Overdrive.”
Code:
ROBOT: Anything that has passed ROBOT inspection that a TEAM places on the TRACK prior to
the start of a MATCH.
Now, come up with a definition of ROBOT that would outlaw 1519's solution to this year's game.
