Interesting...the year we had the most stuff out in public, earliest in the season (videos, drawings, cad renderings) was also the year we won a regional because we had a really good robot.
If you post your "secret" ideas here on CD, you might get some instant feedback that will help you either improve them even more, or else show you why they might not be such a good idea after all.
Also if other teams copy your idea because it really is a good idea, you have helped another team, and having more, better performing robots at the competitions is a good thing.
We haven't found a downside to sharing everything we're doing.
