I know something like that happed due to a shipping error in 2004. 494 was one of the teams who helped that team build a new robot out of raw material (they won CMP J&J Sportsmanship for their efforts). However building a new robot out of raw material on Thursday is completely legal (although it is a last resort) while borrowing a fully fabricated robot is not.

The closest thing to this situation that I can think of is the story of Mighty Mouse (45's 2003 ball-drive prototype) being lent to Team 909. I suggest you read the old thread, as it is a reminder of what is great about FIRST
