In my opinion, this does not have as much problem solving experiences as make something “from scratch.”
How do you host a (very valuable) library of robot CAD that teams can reference while also saying that students shouldn't have access to Ri3D or the BlitzBuild? Your signature even says: "Your one stop shop for robot design ideas and solutions!", but the above post seems to indicate you think it is bad for FIRST to have students see other people's design ideas and solutions?
