Now that I understand what happened, and realized that it is not FIRST's money being spent, I am very okay with what happened. My 2003 comment referred to a few incidents where teams agreed before a match to not knock over each others stacks, but ended up violating the agreement. This was really controversial because it was totally un-GP, but not illegal. When teams sincerely wanted to make the no stack hitting agreement, it was tough to decide to trust them or not.
