I agree that the honor system needs to be used by teams and not try to skirt the intent of rules. I also agree that no team should participate in a qualifying or elimination match that has not passed inspections. I also agree it is the TEAMS responsibility to get reinspected after any modification. But I draw the line at practice matches. A team that barely finished their Robot in time to ship has many things to finish besides the building of the robot. The driver needs practice time, the programmers need to debug, etc. In between matches the team can fix the weight/size problem. It also doesn't help other teams practice if the robots from other alliences don't show up.
It would be nice if our culture allowed for people to "play by the rules" rather than "play to win or get caught whichever comes first"
