I can see rookies benefiting, but I think rookies have been doing fine since before these marathons.

Everyone benefits. You get to see some ideas that others are trying out that maybe you had dismissed or do not have the resources to try out (only so many hours in the day right?)
How is this different from teams referencing past robots from previous seasons and gaining inspiration for their current robot? Let's be honest, very few teams are re-inventing the wheel here. We're all developing something from another idea, another concept, it's (almost) all been done before by someone. Instead of segregating everyone into their own team silo's, technology now allows our community to collaborate and share ideas throughout our teams' design processes - in real time. I love how this is changing the build season and can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
