Just to add a thought to the discussion of taking another team's robot or doing things to it like wrapping it in saran wrap.

Many teams have valuable sponsors that they depend on for monies, support, partnership. If something were to happen to a robot because of a prank, how could that be explained to the sponsor and who would do the explaining?

The discussions regarding sponsor support, outreach, spreading the word of FIRST and impacting communities locally and globally are real. Reputation is something all FIRST teams work to establish inside and outside the FIRST community. It doesn't take much to weaken a reputation that has been built over time.

This is another perspective to look at when making choices and decisions regarding how you conduct yourself as an individual and as a team.
