 But now the most important question - is there a practical application for one of these devices on a FIRST robot? - Chris Fultz [more] |

If a team agrees with yours to rig a match they are breaking the spirit of first and being borderline dishonorable. In order to rig a match you have to trust that the opponent will not , say, tip over one of your stacks right at the end. Since you know that this team is dishonorable, why would you ever trust them to follow the honor system? Back stabbing is just as legal in the rules as cooperating. You could even consider this "justice" because you are losing points after agreeing to rig a match.
Another thing: The only thing anyone has posted here is disgust. Nobody has said "we will pursue a rigged agreement in all of our matches and we see nothing wrong with this behavior." So don't worry, the majority of teams will not rig matches. Unless you're all a bunch of liars. |
