I guess I should explain why I don't want entire copies of my code available elsewhere on the 'net. Two years ago, I posted some code that was later modified and posted on a team's website (team A). Another team (Team B) used the modified version of the code on their robot, but had problems because the modified code had a bug introduced by team A. Team B e-mailed me and said that my code didn't work for them and asked if could I help find the bug. Well, this was during the 2004 six week build period and I was at work when I got the e-mail. Not seeing how the bug could possibly happen and worried that many teams were having the same problem, I left work early so that I could go home and try to reproduce the bug on a real controller. Well, after a few frustrating hours trying to reproduce the bug, I found out that Team B used Team A's modified code, where the bug was found. The point I'm trying to make is that it's much easier for me (and others here on CD) to help diagnose problems if I know that the team started with a build that I know works on my hardware.
