There should be an official process for teams to submit a formal complain or some sort for these kind of situation. I mean, even though we are replying heavily on Gracious Professionalism, there are times when people take the easy way out, and not follow rules are strictly as they should.
FIRST should setup something at the competition where teams can go there, and talk to a person about something odd they saw on another team's robot. And teams have to understand that it is not a personal attack, and that people are just trying to make sure the playing field is fair and no one is having advantages by not following the rules. Then an inspector should be sent to the team, and check out the robot and decide whether or not that team is really violating the rules or not.
I know this could get out of hand, and teams might take advantage of this to cause trouble to other teams, but on the other hand, I've seen so many case where someone else notice something wrong with another teams robot, and have no one to talk to.
