But they do, so many teams do, and we saw so many duplicates this year. I like the additions that Ri3d/Build Blitz can add, but why not do them in week 2 or 3? Still give plenty of time to borrow ideas, but also gives teams a chance to solve their own problem first. Lots of my students saw the solutions developed by the 3 day teams and those were the only possible solutions they saw all season. It effectively removed a few of our students from the unique and creative design of our robot. High School teenage tunnel vision is a powerful thing...
