Well, I don't really believe that the spirit of FIRST precludes keeping some information about your design, mechanisms, and strategy proprietary - especially at such an early stage.

I start posting teasers for a few reasons. Mostly, I wanted to inspire others to do the same because I was uncertain about our progress. But, I also wanted to get people talking, some, and I wanted to raise awareness of our design and strategy.

Of course, I haven't yet mentioned anything about our design or strategy. As time passes, I will continue to reveal more images of the robot, both from Inventor and as true construction commences. From seeing these pictures, only a single person has been able to decipher our function, and I really enjoy seeing people guess.

We're proud of what we have in our robot this year. It's a significant improvement over our design and implementation of last season's robot, it'll be a blast to play with, and it employs a strategy that I've seen discussed very little - and take seriously far less.
