I applaud all of the above teams for their candor and think that this was the intention of FIRST, students working WITH engineers/coaches/advisors. The real problem here is- the teams who receive crated robots, manufactured COMPLETELY by some sponsor, will never have the guts to say so in this thread, and if they did, how could they ever justify it. Where's the learning curve for the students.
It can never be regulated (honestly, that is) because students are already supposed to be taking part in design and construction and those teams who aren't allowing it now will continue to have a "best-robot-at-all-costs" mentality in the future.
