Re: Discussion: Release Team Field Drawings Early
I think this is a great idea. I've been involved with building the field for the UMN Kickoff for the last couple years, and honestly, even as field builders we often have no real idea of what the game is. Most of our hints come from the names of the drawings, and that's not enough to really let us figure it out. If they were completely anonymous numbers for all the parts, it would be even harder to guess.
I feel like FIRST has been getting themselves all worked up over the secrecy of the field, and the more they clamp down, the less benefits they're going to see from the field builder program. Perhaps opening the door a bit is what FRC really needs, instead of desperately trying to shut everyone out.
