I agree with that to an extent. We all can learn from criticism. Last year Matt Reiland of 226 (I think it was him) saved our butts because in one of our teasers we had a pneumatic cylinder held in place illegally, if it wasn't for him we probably wouldn't have realized it and it would have caused quite a bit of embarrassment if an inspector caught it at a regional or at the championship. Also, just this last week Paul Copioli from 217 pointed out a flawed assumption about a CVT design. That will probably save headaches and pain for that team because of that. Another good example of good criticism. I agree that certain criticisms should be posted, but again with everything you have to draw a line somewhere. As everyone else before me said use your head before you post it and if you are in doubt, I say go ahead and PM, if something good comes out of it or a problem is solved the team you helped will let you know. You all have them, so use your brains.
