Let's say FIRST decides to disqualify any team which does such things during the competition for the duration thereof.

How are you going to tell who's cheating and who's not?

Assuming no opposing alliances are working together, it can STILL happen that each alliance has both of their extremely tall stacks standing. You can't assume they have been working together just based on that. A lot of honest teams could get in trouble if FIRST tried to enforce such a rule.

Basically, my point is that you (or at least the FIRST judges) can't ever reliably figure out who's really cheating at all.
