Re: The Honor Code of FIRST

One of the teams used it again later, and we found the lube and threw it away without them knowing. We felt bad, but they were not abiding by the rules. One of the teams went on to do VERY well in the competition.

What do you think?

enforcing the rules is not up to teams, it is up to FIRST. For this i lose respect for you and your team. If you notice something that shouldn't be done ask them top stop this (which you did), however if you see this happen again you should notify a FIRST inspector and allow them to deal with it.

Enforcing rules is not and should not be left up to team (except for the code of honor which deals with the fix-it windows)
