I think you've got to stick the rules...judges don't make rules, they are
supposed to enforce them!  If the requirements weren't met, the project
should be unconditionally  disqualified.  You would've certainly turned me
off if I'd participated in this event and lost to somebody who "sweet
talked" the judges into the winning point.  It can be likened to a race
where there is a tie at the finish line, but one car was illegally "souped
up", and then wins because they gave it a GOOD TRY. Sounds ridiculous from
this perspective, doesn't it?

What are we teaching these kids if we let them break the rules and get
rewarded for it?

I'm disappointed in the judge.
