It seems like the key to a winning robot isn't one super secret amazing idea. It's about the right combination of good ideas, executed well, and play the game the most effective way. So many ideas that we have are simultaneously being discussed on CD by other teams. Nobody knows for sure what that best strategy is, and what that combination of manipulators is until competition really starts.
But yet, I'd still rather not have other teams seeing too much about our ideas so early. Every team is going to feel differently about secrecy, ranging from posting CADs nightly of their robot to banning taking pictures for personal use due to fear of leakage. It's about what you're comfortable with.
