Hi folks, the quantity limits for the Robot Game are explicitly listed in Rule 4, Equipment. 1 Controller: CONTROLLERS - You are allowed a maximum of one controller in the competition area in any one match. Yes, you may switch controllers (bricks) between matches. Just don't bring the extra ones to the competition table. 3 Motors: MOTORS - You are allowed a maximum of three MINDSTORMS motors in the competition area. 1 Robot: You may not use more than one robot in any one match, but it’s okay to use a different robot in a different match. [Rule 12 defines the robot. It's the controller and anything attached to it. So this limit is the same as "one controller".] When I have been a Robot Design judge, I've been interested in hearing what the team has to tell me about their design (all phases, all parts). I wouldn't have any issues with seeing multiple robots/controllers. Your mileage may vary, of course, but I agree that it supports the Design Process part of the rubric (http://firstlegoleague.org/sites/default/files/Challenge/Combined%20Rubrics.pdf) In answer to Gina's question, I've seen many teams who build different "chassis" for their robot brain, and transfer the controller from one to another during a match. This is quite fine (only one controller), as long as the limit on motors is obeyed. (No more than three in a match.)
