You all should have been happy that we gave you fair warning you'd have to modify your design so you could compete. Otherwise you would have shown up to your first regional and found out that you had never read the Q&A questions that disallowed your robot, completely screwing you.
Reccomending other teams against releasing pictures of their robots, so as to not "screw them" when they find out they overlooked parts of the rules (or blatantly exploited something that they thought was a grey area) is far more damaging to these teams than showing pictures and giving themselves time to design a fix before regionals.

That was harsh. Okay, I wasn't there so I don't know the whole story. But anyway that experience kind of made our advisors gun-shy about posting pictures, even though we didn't bend any rules this year.
