If you're on a go-kart track. YES!

I have no problem with people pimping their designs. I know that when someone asks me for help on a gearbox, the first thing I do is send some examples to talk around; and yes, they are examples of my own design.

Where I have a problem, is when people repeatedly disparage those teams that designed simple systems, with the goal of elegant completion of the design challenge. You keep badmouthing teams that didn't design something like your system. Look, I'm sorry 229 didn't build a 6 motor shifter. We've had the design since pre-season 2004, but... WE DIDNT NEED IT FOR THE GAME!

This is terribly off-topic; and I appologize.
I suggest everyone gets back to helping Collin.
