I can hear it now, "But that wasn't on the test!".
But something similar to this would transition that should to a must. At least for some things I think a requirement on knowledge must be met. Such as bumper rules, placement of lights, wire gauges, placement of main breakers, etc..

Its not FIRST's job to do this, but if certain things are made a requirement to know, then the teams would take more responsibility for it. With the requirement of passing a test they would also have the incentive of actually using BB, Q&A, and any other documentation available.
