The best thing about Ri3D in my opinion, is that how much, if any, of the information you use from it is up to you. Our team for instance, was struggling with how to make an effective shooter, but after showing them the pneumatic wheel Ri3D used, we had our shooter design working in no time. We didn't use any other feature from the Ri3D machine, but that pneumatic wheel made all the difference in having as effective of a shooter as we did.

In a sense, it's almost like how some teams work with / are mentored by a more experienced team during build season, except rather than only a few teams benefiting from the knowledge, everyone can.
