Leaked information, once it has been put on the internet, is public domain. Once something is out there, it is out there - you can never take it back. It is an entirely reasonable stance that, sometimes, the best policy in those cases is to keep the information public rather than the contrary. Whether that is the case here is up for debate - I can see legitimate points on both sides.

There is room for reasonable people to disagree about this topic. I think it's good to respect that.
Let me tell you what I would have done if I happened to "stumble" upon such information: I would have contacted FIRST and AndyMark immediately. I would have kept the info to myself until I heard back from them. I would not have posted it to any other site or talked to anyone else about it. I know, I should not use my common sense when dealing with anyone else, but I just can't help it. I can't see ANY legitimate reason to spread info that i KNOW I shouldn't have. What agenda is served by spreading this information when know it shouldn't be in the public domain? If you buy into the logic that anything put on the internet is fair game, the world becomes a VERY scary place.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
