im kindof interested in the thinking behind keeping robot pictures secret.
Its not as if people are going to make changes to their robot ont he basis of them (they would be very foolish if they did). There is an arguement that people may adjust their tactics after seeing them, but its not going to make very much of a difference as they cant see how effective the robot is until the competition. Which is when it matters.
As i see it, good driving is where victory lies and posting pictures isnt going to affect that.
You are well within you rights to withold images of your robot, though i think if everyone posted then it would reduce over-competativeness. It's also akin to what happens in the real world - open science - where scientists share their findings with everyone else, so everyone benefits.
