Well, I think most of us are again missing the point of first. It is not about the robot or the game. It is about learning new things that you wouldn't be able to learn normally. I would prefer to see my robot win a match on its own merit than work with the opposing team to win. Winning is one thing, accomplishment is another. The competition is there for you to test what you have done in the environment you have designed it for. This sort of action is NOT what you should be designing for thus defeating the purpose.

I am strongly against this, but there is nothing that can be done to stop it. It does require that all 6 teams agree and looking at this thread, most people wouldn't agree to it. It only takes one ringer to screw it up, and that one ringer can also ruin possible friendships.
