Re: Robot in 3 Days : Feedback
I think the potential distraction to established teams is a minor side effect that is well worth the huge potential gain for newer teams and teams without mentors.
We can all idealize and say teams should follow a perfect design process that is posted in presentations, but many teams have no mentors, no experience, etc... If they get a functional scoring machine because they copied Ri3D then that's AWESOME. That certainly puts them in a better place, both in terms of experience and morale, to grow for the future than a robot that just drives.
In summary, release it as early as possible.
