"Spare Parts" Rules Are Broken

[KenWittlief]

I agree with the last post.

If you see someone doing something you think is against the rules, you have two options:

1. get a judge and confront them - straighten it out right there- 99% of the time it will be a misunderstanding on someones part, corrective action will be taken, someone will learn the rules better, and that will be the end of it

or

2. if its not a big deal, then let it drop - and that means let it drop everywhere and forever.

Coming on this forum or anywhere else and making induendos, or accusing a team of cheating without backing it up with names, dates, team numbers, witnesses, does nothing but get people upset, and gets other people angry at teams who may or may not have been doing something wrong.

If you saw a team doing something and you want to know if its against the rules, you can simply ask: is it ok to bring a practice bot to the event and use it on thurday?

is it ok to use assemblys from a practice bot on your real machine?

there is no need to say that you saw someone doing this - because the event is over and you cant do anything about it now - but with the rules clarified you can do something about it WHILE its happenings at a future event.
