Unless you plan on posting up a full picture of your bot, it's a waste of space on this server and pretty useless to the other teams.
It's a bad idea to suggest that I'm less committed than you, or that I'm somehow putting in a lesser effort because I take the time to share some of progress on this board. Pieces are starting to arrive so that we may assemble them. As that progresses, I will post real photos of our work. Additionally, I will continue to add updated, more complete renderings our robot as time passes.

If Brandon's bandwidth is hurting so badly that the extra 100Kb is too much to handle, I'd appreciate it if he would jump in and let me know. I'd be glad to do my part in keeping 47's costs down.

I've hesitated to post an image of our entire robot precisely because it is an ambitious design and is something my team, nor I, have ever attempted before. In fact, to my knowledge, nobody has done anything that emulates the challenges we are facing in making this strategy work correctly. As that is the case, I have yet to decide if I want want the entire community to see our potential failures, or if I would rather wait and share with them our success (and sweep failure under the carpet)

Attention is a good and bad thing, sometimes. But, it is fun, nonetheless. I do all of this for fun. I dislike competition.

Besides, when I do share our entire robot, there's a 99% chance people won't be able to figure out how it functions. So.
