I hope "tampering includes disassembling" was not intended to prohibit taking something apart if it was going to be reassembled in original working order before use. Note that teams are instructed to disassemble the cRIO in order to install the gaskets.

The fancy battery charger cabinets using the guts -- disassembled, but unmodified -- of the KOP Schumacher chargers are a bit more problematic. I'd like to see some productive debate about the wording of that particular rule this year.
