Practice bot morality - Page 5

If you are "retiring" the old ball, make all the lights green, hang it 8 feet in the air, line up a bunch of 'bots and let 'em shoot poofs. RoboPinata! (warning kids - don't eat the "candy" that falls out!) - Taylor [more]

Practice bot morality

What are your thoughts on the morality of a practice bot? Sure, you are not directly breaking the rules by working on your bot past the 6 weeks, but aren't you gaining an unfair advantage over other teams? Problems you find with your practice bot will be much quicker to find and fix once you get to competition.
Plus, you are spending more than the allotted $3500. Another advantage to teams with more sponsors/ resources.

What are your opinions?
