Since that would take too long to get set up on the field (stacking 2 spikes is a pain, let alone 102...), I conjecture a KOP frame + spike-only robot could not pass inspection.

Thus we need to take 1 spike away and use the extra $ for fishing line to tie them all together on a KOP frame. 101 spikes ... time to take stock in IFI!
Its more the fact of when asked how many spikes are allowed on the robot, they don't come up with a number for all of the motors and pnuematics, they use the weight of the spikes to determine enough needed to fill 120lbs.

GDC member: "Hey guys since it is February and half way through build season, can we start adding some humor in our answers?"
Everyone else: "OH YES!"
