Re: Are the three day builds affecting designs?
I think that the Ri3D projects are a good thing. There is the obvious reason that it helps inspire/provide a starting point for younger or rookie teams.
There is the less-obvious reason that it gives me an idea of what sort of robots we might be playing with and against during the season. That sparks different design avenues for cooperative and defensive features or objectives that I probably wouldn't have come up with had I been working on an island.
It also lets me know what designs are likely to become common and thus I can figure out which concepts my team comes up with are likely to be innovative and/or different enough to catch people's attention.
