These agreements are a horrible thing. Yes it is "legal", but not inline with FIRST's goals and ambitions. What Enron did was "legal" also, but that is because no one ever imagined something like that would be done therefore there was no law against it. If this was 2001 I could understand, but it is not. This is the 2003 game and it is 2 vs 2 nothing other than that. I know I speak for my team when I say we will not participate in any kind of agreement proposed to us. I can only hope that FIRST addresses this issue before the Championship. It is an appalling practice that undermines the ideals of FIRST. I am really disturbed that some teams want to teach students how to be the next Enron or WorldCom. People like to say that is strategy or whatever, but really just a workaround of the rules to cheat the system.
