Re: To share or not to share

I agree with everything that has been said. While our team, to our knowledge, isn't going to be all happy-go-lucky this-is-exactly-what-we-did in our sharing, we're still going to share the general thought process and give some insight. Then, there's also the traditional teaser pictures week 4ish or so.
Primarily, FIRST isn't a competition. It's a learning experience. Share the knowledge, and you'll learn more because there's bound to be someone who sees something about your project that even your own team didn't realize it can do. It's happened before to us.
