Others on our team had this opinion as well. I am absolutely against this train of thought. If I am going to operate in a gray area, I am going to do everything in my power to shine light on the issue so others find clarity in the situation.
If [insert elite team] intentionally hid a questionable inspection item (not counting game mechanics that offer advantages i.e. 469 in 2010) and I was inspecting them it would rub me the wrong way. I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard. The "oh well we're at competition and it's too late to fix it" attitude is immoral and not in the spirit of FIRST.
