Exactly.. I couldn't say it better.

I personally am not going to release our source code until all of our competitions are over for the simple reason that I want that advantage that it gives me, cuz I want to win.

However, if someone asks me to help them with their code and I have the time to do so, I will. At GLR last weekend a team asked me to help them with their autonomous mode.. and I would have except mine wasn't working very well yet so I told them to come back later.. and if they had come back I would have helped them as much as I could. And especially now, since all of our code is set and finalized (for the most part) and I'm gonna be bored this weekend at the Midwest regional... if somebody needs help with their code, I'll gladly help if they just come by our pits and ask..

I think that Open Source in First is definitely what the program is trying to push. I have absolutely no problem with giving some of my code if not all to another team. But I also believe that other teams should write their own code and if they are having problems maybe another teams programmer could help that team by working with them on their code. I did this with team 19 at UTC. I was surprised to find as well that when I offered my code to them(which would have worked perfectly on their robot with just minor changes) they graciously declined my offer but gladly accepted help on the code they had written. I think this is the way it should be. like I said, I dont mind giving code away to teams that need help but after the experience I began to think that instead of the code being given away immediatly that we should first help guide and help other teams on the programs that they had written.
