I'll have to disagree with you.

I think that one of the most fantastic parts about FIRST is that the biggest and most successful teams are also the most abiding to the rules. The stereotype of the 'haves' being dishonest, un-GP, or perpetual cheaters is absolutely untrue. While it's true that this ruling would be nearly impossible to police, it doesn't mean that teams would blatantly disobey it.
