I agree, and I don't see any problem specifically allowing non-LEGO elements
such as yours in future MoTeCs, however the current rules (as announced for
the May MoTeC) specifically disallow it, so I agree with Tobbe's decision to
not allow you to enter it for May.

For May, yes. Future MoTeCs ... that's up to how (and if) Tobbe decides to
change the rules after May.

As I see it, the "voting" was for a future rule change, so the break-up has
no relevance to the May contest.
