Why post the completed robots in the first place? Answer is simple, it helps with scouting. You want to have some notes set up before the regional (or video notes) about various robots before you go and compete with/against them in regional or championship play. |

Perhaps it would be better to put the teasers in FIRSTr, while "teasers" that show the beginnings of the robot, in CD.

Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
Often the silly teasers are due to new people who are very overwhelmed by the excitement of the build season and reading all of the attention lavished on the elites.
People live for acceptance from their peers and want them and their team to have the same acceptance lavished on their team as well. Even if it's something that isn't all that revoloutinary. It's something they've never done before so it's special to them just not to the rest of the FIRST community. I don't see how anyone is really going to control the "dumb teasers" without alienating people who are going to feel persecuted and censored. ] The main use of Chiefdelphi is self expression of what FIRST means to you. Sometimes they are not good choices and are met with indifference to outright anger and dissaproval. It would be nice to protect people from their bad choices but not really feasable. Dumb teasers are still going to happen whether we like them or not. Let's not turn it into a Federal case and make CD a miserable place for the overenthusiatic who's only crime was just not knowing better. |
Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
I thought I would bump this one because, well, it's getting kind of rediculous again.:cool:
Please think twice before taking up disk space and bandwidth that ISN'T FREE, with something that really doesn't benefit the community. If you can't post a complete picture or description for fear someone may copy your design or create a defense just for you, then please save it for Regionals. Besides, boasting is really not GP. OK, I'm off my soap box. Please enjoy the rest of build season!!! |
Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
I think we should let the teasers be!
I get more enjoyment out of looking at a teaser picture that is partial or vague than I do looking at a post or thread which complains about them, or seeing the thousands of identical racks that FIRST teams have made. Teasers are are different. They are a break from the monotony of usual CD discussion. You show me 24 sprockets, and I can exercise my brain by trying to figure out what they are for. The 100kb that it takes for a teaser picture really isn't going to hurt the CD server, as that is what it was designed for... hosting lots and lots of pictures. If the moderators thought it was good enough to post, then I think we all should. |

Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
I thought I would resurrect this thread as it is pertinent.
I just saw a piece of aluminum with 2 holes drilled in it and 36" written on it. Whoever it was, don't take offense, I just mean it to constructive critisism. If you do, I appoligize. All these teasers must be approved by the moderators and they have a lot work to do on this site Please see post #1 for good and bad examples. I like teasers too but PLEASE make them interesting or funny :D |
Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
Since teaser pictures have already started to pop up, I thought I bring back this thread yet again.
There are many good examples and points brought up here that are still valid. Happy build season! |
Re: No More Teasers in 2007?
Meh, I'll just go with the same policy I've always had with teasers and continue to ignore them.
They can get back to me when you have something I'm actually interested in: a working robot. |
