This rule seems to be on the edge of "grey area". I mean there is so much going on in the pits at one time, that there is no way to accuratly know what each and every team is doing during the day.
This is how rules get broken, by not enough supervision...It's the same as any other sport. In soccer, you could get tripped, and the ref's wouldnt spot it. in football, a guy could hold you and the ref's wouldnt be able to tell.
Now i know this is a hard rule to adhere to every minute by FIRST, BUT i think that they could do a better job in promoting it. If you have ever been to/watched a NASCAR race, and when the drivers bring their cars down pit road, they are under constant supervision. there is always a NASCAR offical within 10 feet of a car on pit road. even when the car goes behind the wall in the garage area, there is still a official within 10 feet of the car as it's being worked on.
now, my "idea" is that first should get volunteers to piggyback teams. have one representative per "block". a block would consist of six pit stalls. that way there is always someone keeping track as to what is going on, and so "name calling, finger pointing, and whatnot" keeps from happening.
I think the rule is great, however teams will do anything to win, and that's terrible. Winning gets you knowhere in life, in your job you will always be looked down upon, never be the "big guy", and you will never win at being greedy.

so, lets try and take a step back, re-evaluate ourselves, and ask ourselves..."do we really want to promote a monopoly to our future buisness leaders?"
