Re: Philosophies on design reuse

You should always be able to make the design better.

We view the off-season as a research and development period. We gain a lot in the proof of concept categories. Almost none of our work would be competiton worthy, for reasons such as material selection, manufacturing techniques, weight, etc.

Look at your concepts/designs and improve them. You and your team probably learned a lot from the experience of the off-season; now put those lessons learned to work.
