I am going to disagree here. that robot belongs to the entire 1114 team, and unless they all agreed to take it from the arena, you put them and all of their work at risk. think of what could have happened - a slip, a drop, something bent or broken, and they could have lost their entire weekend of competition. How would you recover from that?

I hope it doesn't come to this, but maybe the IRI needs a "Do not touch another teams robot" policy.

there are lots of ways to have fun and play pranks - i don't think this is a good one.

ps - i would say this about any teams robot, regardless if they were in the #1 or #72 spot.
