Re: Sharing Designs
This is a personal issue of mine, I'm very open to sharing information, though none of the other students on my team are open to it.
What are you losing by sharing a design? Originality? Is that secret design of yours exactly what the winning key in all 71 robots have? (no its not PVC, the other secret)
What are you gaining? Your probably gonna get feed back, constructive critism, ideas to help make your robot better. And by showing what you got ahead of time people know at a competition to make sure to go and check your robot out more in detail. Its all publicity, if people know you got a product theres one step in the marketing process that you've got done. As for more specifics, you don't need to say what kind of sprocket size you have with all your chains, you don't need to go into detail about it. A picture (or movie) is worth 1000 words.
Why not? You've got nothing to lose (and if your saying originality, start looking at the stuff the patent office gave us in the kit)
i dont know if this "tangent" is what the original thread was made for, but it seemed fitting, maybe if the discussion was split? Mods feel free to move it
