Hmm Now that I can finally see the patent, (horray for Downloading the .tiff image viewer plugin way back when) I have a serious question for you Andy.
Seeing as that design is patented, if another FIRST team cloned it and used it in almost the exact same sense, would they get sued??
I can wait for the answer while you consult your lawyers.
Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery?? Do you believe in that saying?
