Re: The Honor Code of FIRST
Honor is doing the right thing when nobody is watching.
Honor is a very difficult thing to enforce with rules because there are so many areas where things can be 'overlooked' by the officials.
Every year I tell my team "This is a competition, and the goal in a compitition is to win. However, it is the actions that one takes in achieving this goal that tells the measure of the person".
And as far as mentor built robots go ... How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We in 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms.
