It may be too late for that at this point. Numerous questions about this venture have been brought up, and need to be addressed in a official manner. Expect some sort of ruling from FIRST in the near future. Although, I highly doubt that either team would be barred from competition.

On the other hand, there is still that cryptic comment on the first page of Team Update #10. It's already been addressed earlier in this thread, but it warrants consideration. FIRST was hinting that they had seen something that was creative, deserving of recognition, yet illegal. This may have been what they were talking about.

The next few days should be interesting, to say the least. Then again, isn't that always true about the last week of build season?
