It's interesting that those two things are now against the rules -- intentionally or otherwise.
I understand that point, and I almost put a sidenote into my post regarding an issue where I know it happened before--in 2003 (I think? may have been 04) at SVR a Jewish school could not operate it's robot on Saturday due to the Sabbath. Members from other teams stepped in and became their driveteam for the day.

Things like that are great. I'm all for them.

My point was that there are situations in which it can be bad. Imagine two teams collaborating, either via long distance, or being at the same school. One team has an awesome driver. The other driver is not so good. Without this rule, Driver A could drive Team B's robot, and his or her own robot. That isn't fair.
