If there were, they wouldn't be in FIRST for long. There are teams that are infamous for continually thinking outside the box, like the aforementioned team 71. This is the good kind of infamy.

Also, I'm fairly certain that few of those teams, should there be any, would WANT to have their "exploits" dragged out years later.

The one exception (and please note: 1. they were NOT the only team to do this and 2. this was PERFECTLY LEGAL when they did it, which is why it is no longer legal) would be team 121. They are infamous for tipping lots of robots during the last year that tipping was legal. As I said, they were NOT the only team; several did so. They are not the reason for the rule; the widespread tipping is.

There are incidents that happen from time to time with things that are questionably legal, on individual machines. These are dealt with very quickly. If you want some information on one such incident that was widespread, search CD for threads from 2002 with the words "tape measure".
