Anton,

Sad story.

FIRST only works because people who could easily cheat
and get away with it, choose to play by the rules.

For me, this is a very grave thing.

The whole idea of
FIRST is that adults should be modeling behaviours we
wish for our high school students to aspire to (e.g.
going to college and getting a degree in engineering).

Do we really want to send the message to our
mentorees that it is okay to cheat as long as they are
sure nobody is looking?

I think not.

Joe J.
