However for teams that have used this collusion method and are going to a second regional consider this:

Say you robot breaks and you need a spare drill motor and the only team with a replacement motor is VERY much against your strategy. How are you going to feel asking them for help after practically backstabbing them in the back? Are they going to give you this help?
By all means, they should.

Stabbed in the back or not, Gracious Professionalism is what would make that team give their extra drill motor - willingly, not begrudgingly - to even the most vicious and bitter teams.

Holding grudges and getting revenge are going to get you nowhere. Some of these teams change from year to year anyway, thereby defeating the purpose entirely.

Please rethink your 'revenge' tactics, and instead maybe pull a mentor or driver over and explain your opinions.

You can always say yes to someone, even when you know it's wrong. It's saying no and sticking with it that gets a bit tricky.
