Re: On the quality and complexity of software within FRC

Help me out folks, if a team's software isn't made public, isn't it supposed to be rewritten from scratch every year?

And even if all of a team's software is made public from year to year, isn't the general notion of the annual FRC learning experience that software, like the physical robot, will be largely developed anew, during the season, each year?

I realize that there is a broad spectrum of ways teams actually do their software development; but isn't the clean sheet of paper, plus some true off the shelf code, sort-of the big picture thrust of the rules?
