Things like that are great. I'm all for them.

My point was that there are situations in which it can be bad. Imagine two teams collaborating, either via long distance, or being at the same school. One team has an awesome driver. The other driver is not so good. Without this rule, Driver A could driver Team B's robot, and his or her own robot. That isn't fair.

Yep. I think, more than anything else, it's an example of what sort of situations FIRST gets themselves into by not thinking about how far reaching some of what they say can be. Of course, all of this is based on the speculation that FIRST wants teams helping one another out at any cost -- which may not be the case.
