Look at it like this. Most rovers opperate indipendent of each other, but when
they team up in a group they increase thier score expontially. Compare it to
this. You are a wieght lifter and toy can dead lift 800 pounds by your self.You
then find yourself competing against a team of 4 wieght lifters that can lift
2500 lbs as a team of 4.You then get upset and say that is a different event,
but the judges still gives each man credit for 2500 lbs per individual. Later
the judge fixes the rules and trys to put the team in a differnt catagory. But
they still work a limited amount of contacts with just a few people to inflate
thier score as a team and post victories in 3 different rover classes. So if
there is true sportmanship in this event there needs to be a line drawn between
teams and non teams for rovers just as there is for stationary stations. They
broke no rules, the rules are broken. I suppose if you are upset enough write
the contesting committee dirrectly.
