Honestly I think it should be the team's job the know the rules and procedures. A veteran team shouldn't have to be responsible for another team. As a member of a veteran team, I know it would add a whole lot more work that we would have to do, and we don't have the time or man power to do it.
We were pared numerous times with rookie teams at MWR. Some didn't know rules, others didn't have bumpers, and a few had robots that had to rebuilt. We spent a lot of our time helping trying to help them out.
I'm all for helping teams out, but I think its unfair to shove responsibilities on to another team especially with this year's game and all the complications that come with it.
