The post you just made was so negative towards those 'negative comments' that it just cracked me up. No offense, but people are always curious, which is a good quality. We want to know and we like to ask questions. The fact that the comments are 'under the veil of constructive criticism' is irrelevant. If it's criticism, fine. When my team posts pictures, we expect to get a lot of it. But if people make stupid comments but aren't insulting, that's really not under the control of any of us. Let them look stupid.

You achieve nothing by pointing out every potential problem a team may have with its robot. Pointing out the light may be illegal, at every possible opportunity in your case, is not from curiousity. It's just annoying, ill informed, and wastes space. I am not degrading your achievement where it doesn't exist, but the endless, unnecessary nitpicking that I've seen from the participants here
is unnecessary. Robot Showcase is for the discussion of robots and their designs. The focus on finding weakness and winning strategies while stealing the attention from the achievement of the students who worked so hard for six weeks to get anything done is sickening.
If you want to consider ways of beating the robots you see here on CD, that's fine. Do it in Rules/Strategy. Do it in private. Do it elsewhere. Don't denigrate the achievement of these teams to satisfy your curiousity. If team members, in defense of their design, write something that is also ill-informed or otherwise incorrect, it's your job to educate them. Explain yourself and your reasoning so that they might learn from you. Do it for their benefit, not at their expense.
