Re: Does R13 allow for design reuse from previous years?

Taking inspiration from previous robots, like looking at Simbotic's 2007 bot and designing something during the season based on it, is never disallowed; what is expressly disallowed (as an example for this year) is opening up your 2007 CAD and building it and sending it to competition, assuming it was never released to the public. Unless you modified the designs, you'd actually probably violate R1 in the process, due to the significant size difference of the game piece in those years.
