With the number of folks involved in FRC, there is almost certain to be cheating... If we value honesty in this event, it's imperative that we confront the offending individuals/teams, etc. If this does not quietly solve the issue, word should be passed up the line - either to your district/regional chairman or to Frank Merrick.

Reports are often going to be a he-said-she-said situation, making any sort of "investigation" difficult. However, if an incident is reported by several different sources, it can be dealt with properly.

Making such reports is especially important if the offending team has a fair amount of competitive success. The last thing we want is for the "only" way for teams to win is by cheating.

And, also, we probably don't want to go into a lot of detail on CD... Having accusations float around the community without being substantiated will do far more harm than good.
