I inspected team 830. It was not until late in the day Thursday that I realized that they were running their extra robot -- to be honest, I saw at least one other team with their spare robot there -- I also saw that team asking if they could run their spare robot on Th -- they were told no.

Here is how I would have dealt with it at that point. I knew 3 things,
#1 the other team had been told no.
#2 they made no secret of their second robot and
#3 they had not been told to escort their robot to the door.

So at that point, knowing what I knew about the other situation, I just decided to ignore it.

I guess things later blew up a bit.

I have not liked this rule from the beginning but I guess if it is here to stay so be it. We need to get a little more legal to make it fair (and clear).
