Whenever your team wants to combine or bind a Mission Model with something
else, be sure to check the test in bullet two of R11, Mission Model
Handling:


   -

   If you combine a Mission Model with something (including the Robot), the
   combination must be loose enough that if asked to do so, you could pick
   the Mission Model up and nothing else would come with it.

Each of the individual food pieces is a separate Mission Model, so the team
is not allowed to "tightly" bind them together.


In my experience, most of the time that teams first consider connecting a
Mission Model to something else, it isn't allowable.  Then, if the team
thinks about the rule, they can figure out something that is allowable.
