I would rather have a team (alliance) who feels the same way about the rules, the intent of the rules, and a certain way of playing the game rather than the "best" robot who's team will use what I consider to be questionable tactics in a match. Does that mean we might not win? Yeah, it might. Does that mean I can sleep well at night? yep. It also means at the end of the day I can look my students in the eye and be proud of how they played the game.

Do we have to agree on this? Nope, that's what makes the world, and FIRST, so cool. There are many different folks out there doing very different things. Are they all wrong? Lord, I hope not. I'm I right? Who knows.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
