Teams have 10 days to finish, if they don't have a turret designed/built by now they aren't going to have one.
Keeping your designs "secret" is totally your teams choice, but I personally don't see why so many teams are so scared to show what they have. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best and if you think you have the best why not share it or show it off and be proud of it. Most teams aren't going to drastically change their idea because a team shows what they've got. Look at 179 you think that teams dropped what they were doing and decided to build a 179 type bot because they showed it could be done? Sure a team or 2 might have but the majority of people saw it as an inspiration for following years to think outside the box and try something different.
In your video even if you hadn't blurred out your robot from the distance you shot the video from people wouldn't be able to see that much detail in what your turret.
That being said, good luck this year.
