When I was the driver and manager, I always liked talking to scouts. And if you would like a photo of our robot just ask and we will most likely not have any problems with it.
Good luck guys and gals!

If you are attending this event, you already signed away your rights to be photographed. Weather or not you want your robot to be photographed is simply not up to you. Furthermore, saying that people should not take photos of robots without explicit permission is simply un-FIRSTlike. That last little bit there almost seems like an Ultimatum.
Who knows. Perhaps I'm so offended by this request because 3/4 of my life is witnessed from behind a viewfinder.
