if you end up helping another team during the design phase, there are 3 possible outcomes

1. you will play against them, and they will have an advantage over you

2. you will never be in the same match together, in which case you have helped someone out and made a friendship that will last for years

3. they will be your alliance partner in a match, in which case you have helped an alliance

since only one of the 3 possible outcomes have a potential negative impact, I will bet on the 2 out of 3 odds of ending up with a positive outcome, and say, "anyone who wants to know what our team is doing, building, planning or if there is any other way we can possibly help your team - please feel more than welcome to email, phone, stop by....

bring your whole team, bring you cameras, bring your little brother if you want to! :c)
