This is a very important point, and I'd like to take this further: What mechanisms does this program have to cumulatively add knowledge for the benefit of all teams in future seasons?
It would be really cool and powerful, if there were a mechanism to purify and grow knowledge using crowdsourcing. Kind of like a wikipedia for FIRST.
Maybe this ought to go into its own thread?
