Just as the sweater stealer in my hometown, we should publicly announce when a team breaks the rules.

Mike,
No we shouldn't. This is the harsher of crimes. The FIRST teams are like the juveniles. They should be dealt with out of public. Approach the team. If they don't change their ways you go to FIRST official aka the police. And they will let the public know if needed. We shouldn't announce publicly against any team like that.
It would be horrible. Most people wouldn't actually approach the other team and just complain public about them here without the evidence and that could get ugly really quick. There would be a lot of false accusations because some teams have more resources or work harder than others. It would put a black mark on the whole competition. I can just imagine a member of a team that has a grudge against a team that did well accusing them of breaking rules. Not pretty. Not needed. Deal with this the correct way, privately and through FIRST. Don't become the vigilante.
