Think about it

[Raul]

Think about this if you think all this debate about collusion should not be such a big deal:

Do teams that collude have a distaste for team that do not? Probably not, unless they refuse to collude with them! They figure if most other teams do not go along with the idea to artificially increase their QP's, they have a better chance to seed in the top 8 and get to pick who they want.

Do teams that do NOT collude have a distaste for teams that do? Most likely yes. They figure that teams that colluded did not fairly earn the right to pick before them. They also fear that the top 8 seeded positions will be occupied mostly by teams that colluded and they will have no choice but to accept an alliance with one of them!

My point is:
Not colluding is the higher road to take.

I really like the bonding that occurs between teams in FIRST. But, if what I said above is true, it will cause animosity between teams. This is NOT good for FIRST.

I wish FIRST would come out with a statement one way or another on this before the Championship.
