I like this. From what I have seen, if a team doesn't want to do something then they will say no and it probably wont happen. In all actuality I find it more frustrating to see people say that it's not gracious professionalism to use cheesecake. If the two teams agree on it then it is a decision that is made by both teams and nothing says anything about the choosing alliance member forcing the picked alliance member to put something on their robot, which would be entirely against what FIRST wants.
