Subject: Hardware and WCCC limits?

Are there any kind of hardware limitations in computer competitions?

If not, I'd imagine people would just bring a small custom cluster.

TSCP would beat Hiarcs or Shredder if tscp was parallelized and Hiarcs was on a
486.

Just an idea; perhaps there should be some kind of limitation.
If not then you're not really testing the strength of the engines, but a
combination of code and hardware. In that case, whoever has the most money has a
huge advantage. Especially if clustering is allowed.

Just my $0.02, curious to your opinions.
