Don't hate the player, hate the game.

This is something we've done for years. Encouraging well-established and -funded teams to help struggling teams has been called out as the point of, among other things: the alliance system, the serpentine draft, and the chairman's award. It's not "lawyering" to wonder if this is what FRC wants us to stop.

Maybe this goes hand in hand with a game that makes it hard for an alliance's merely mobile third member to contribute meaningfully? If a robot that doesn't move is more valuable than one that does, are the established teams off the hook?
