I agree that a team would be well served to keep code on gethub or CAD on another CAD website but how is having several teams' robot designs and code not serving the purpose you state above?
Example: If I want to design a west coast drive for the first time I would research parts on VEX, AndyMark, and McMaster then look up Ether's various drive train related papers, JVN design calc, maybe Dr Joe's chain visualize if using chain. Then I may look up threads on what sorts of speeds to gear for. But for all that information seeing exactly how a successful WCD that was actually built and used by a team in detail, and manipulating it, breaking it apart putting it together , and having different iterations from maybe hundreds of teams? No comparison.
It's literally the difference between looking at the spec for a car engine vs taking apart like 4 of them.
