Re: Throwing the game.
To its core, FIRST Robotics is founded on the Honor System. How do I know teams stop work on February 17th, that their systems were not built before January 3rd, that their robot truly is under budget restrictions, etc? I don't.
But I have faith in them, as they do with us.
I have an inherent trust in every team attending FIRST events, as I presume they would have for me.
Suggesting such a maneuver would be a betrayal of that trust.
If we were in Team B's position, I wouldn't trust Team D to follow through on their end of the bargain. If they're playing dirty pool with Team A, who's to say they wouldn't do the same with us?
