Re: Sharing Designs
I have some "gripes" about "teasers". Sure teasers are great the first few weeks of the build season. But why when its week 6.9 are we still having teasers???? If you can change your design in ~24 hours you shoud be national champions, but let me ask...is keeping your design SECRETIVE even after shipping really worth it? Sure, I can see it for the suprise at the regional, but when teams are still posting teasers even after ship, I feel is just plain rediculous.
IMHO, I would rather show my idea in week 4.5ish then let the general public constructively criticize me and hopefully get some ideas to better OUR design. I know FIRST has way to many honest and gracious teams to "steal" my design. Granted in the past once I've seen a robot on Delphi, I've said "why didn't I think of that" and usually take notes for next season. I have never said or heard anyone say..."wow that bot looks great, lets change our design because of it".
Let me know your opinions
