Amen, brother. FIRSTies who won't discuss their robot's design approach remind me of a 4-year-old girl who loses her bikini top at the beach -- she might be horrified, but there is really nothing to hide. Last year at PNW was only my first robotics tournament, and I saw exactly one robot design that we did not discuss during our team meetings.

I have to admit that Team XBot's approach is novel, but their strategy one that we wargamed (and showed that it should be very successful, too).
