If you read the rule set posted:

You'll find that the board mount is a common piece, separate from both robots.
What Steve is proposing is to only use the yellow board without the blue legs
and replacing the legs with a common frame design. Someone designs it, we ldraw
it up and post it on the site. Every guy builds one and designs their robot to
attach to it, such that any two robots can attach to any common frame.
Since every participant will need to build a common frame for testing, we'll
have more than enough common frames for competitions.
