Right...these would definitely be no-nos. 8?)

Nah...lets keep this a pure build. Set parts and hands only. This wasn't
meant to be pre-meditated...you don't know who you'll be working with since
sign-up is on site, so it wouldn't be fair to have assembly techniques ready
to go. The team needs to figure out their best practices on-site.

I really don't have a call on this. I suspect that since subsequent teams
will likely do photocopies later on, that we should allow them here.
Otherwise, the instructions for the build set could be torn up, and a new
copy of the book could be requested from LEGO by the eventual winner. I can
probably arrange this in advance, even.
