"Then do you call being unjust being low-minded?"
"No, I call it good judgement."
We're never going to manage to stop everyone from cheating. I think that things could be a bit more strict and a bit more uniform (such as the suggestion by Gadget). Compare FIRST to a major sport and it seems like we need to get it together and make our rules concrete. But remember, we remake the game every year and spend less than 5 months on it before it is left to off season and then to history. So compare FIRST to something like Science Olympiad. From one competition to another there is no telling how close to the rules the administrator of the individual events will be. For instance, in Science of Fitness (an event dealing with anatomy, physiology, and nutrition) the rules once stated that we would be dealing with the heart and lungs, however the regional coordinator tested us on the intestinal system. Sorry to go off topic, but my point is that for how dynamic things are with FIRST, they do a pretty good job of keeping things consistent.
