While I can't disagree with Dave, I think he is missing an even bigger issue. Not only could the school punish the offending students, but you are potentially committing crimes that could have very serious consequences.

If you talk to your IT folks and can't get anywhere, contact Paul Kloberg and I know he'll help. Contact other teams in your area and see if you can someone to demo thier robot to the powers that be and emphasize the importance of being able to program the robot to do what it does. If that doesn't work, go to that administration.

At that point, there are still a few options. Find someone to donate/lend a laptop. Work at home and find someone that can lend a laptop long enough to download code. Find a local team that will let you borrow thier laptop. Finally, if absolutely necessary, go to the parents and sponsors, explain the situation and have them go to the school board.
