Thanks for replies

Thanks for your replies, we did ask the team about the material. We explained that we had wanted to use the same thing but couldn't find a legal way to do it. We really wanted to know if they found it somewhere in Small Parts so that we could use it too. Their response was more evasive than helpful. I think they were aware that it was questionable.
It's really too bad because many of my students now think that a lot of teams "break the rules" because it's too hard to get caught. They think I'm naive for insisting on deadlines for creating new parts and following all the rules etc. "There's no way anyone would know. I bet none of the other teams pay attention to those rules." It's just difficult to make them believe that we're not the only team who takes these things seriously when they see awards given to teams who may have taken a short cut or two.
