All of that said, this was a great show and a great opportunity for so many teams to show off their hard work last year. I don't want to minimize that or the hard work you guys have put in. I just personally wish it didn't have to happen at the expense of open communication between FRC teams, and this seemed like a good venue to express that concern.
I agree. Trading a season of improved matches for 90 seconds of recognition is a poor trade, I think. Last season we saw LOTS of very useful totally public sharing, and I hope we see more of that this year. I hope we follow in the footsteps of the great work Spectrum did last year.

I look forward to seeing some of the perennially secret robots unveiled, though!
