It wasn't exactly a rant towards the Ri3D program as it was towards my team's rationale.

Not exactly, what they picked was "safe". I would understand copying an Ri3D robot if you're a first year rookie team, but our team has had two robotics competitions under its belt. If we are going to advance beyond our current position, we need to innovate beyond rescaling Ri3D designs to fit on our chassis. We've had plenty of innovative designs suggested within the team. The problem is that my team fears taking risks, so we take the "safe" route.
