To be truthful I am a bit surprised by some of the answers especially mentors. We are suppose to be setting examples and yet we are condoning breaking rules. Can a mentor honestly expect a student to hear them say we must follow FIRST's rules but it is OK to break a venues (which is also a FIRST rule). It just seems to be an opposing dilemma.

There are many people who get through life by taking advantage of other people. They know they are doing this, it is the path they have chosen.
Telling me I have to allow them to take advantage of me, because they 'have a rule' or 'its our policy' carries as much weight with me as 'because I said so'.
We pride our selves on freedom, independance and self reliance. If someone else creates a situation where they hold all the cards, the game is rigged from the start. They are not playing fair, why would I be required to go along with it?
