It's like they teach you in kindergarten (or maybe even preschool. It was a long time ago  ) keep your hands to yourself. Even if they didn't cause damage, that doesn't negate the fact they were messing with another team's robot.
If this happened to my team, and my kids "arranged" for such a prank to take place, I can tell you I would not be happy at all. Both the responsible parties, and my students would have a lot of explaining to do. |
Just to clarify for Karthik, Cory, and the rest of you, I am only defending the prank by Arefin and the professionals as they had a certain degree of consent. The other prank was completely out of line and does deserve the proper response.
The thing is that the 'professionals' had permission from some members of 1114. NOT only students but apparently a teacher was in on it too. When a student's voice of reason fails, it is up to the adult to make the proper decisions and make a stand when they are the head of a group, organization, etc.
