There's a lot of pressure this year to either pass inspection or not show up at all. Not showing up gives you a red card... but showing up with a non-passed robot gives your partners a red card too, even if the robot doesn't play. At least, that's how I read that rule.

Isn't it a potential strategy to, upon figuring out that a Red Card for your team is inevitable, decide to bring down as many other teams as you can in order to boost yourself in the rankings? Could you deliberately show up to a match just to screw over your partners? I hope that this behavior has not been and will not be exhibited by any teams at any competition, but with the current rule set up it seems completely possible.

...the above behavior is neither endorsed nor condoned by me or my team in any way.

Just covering my bases.
