Basically if you reproduce any copyrighted/ patented material without the express written permission of those holding the rights then you are a basic common thief.

But that's the exact point wer made earlier. Many of these teams make their own omniwheels, which are all patented, and I bet none of them take the time to pay royalties to the inventor. Should we be forking out money if we are not marketting the omniwheels?
There justification is, if you use it and not paying for it, it's stealing. Yet we loan parts and designs all the time. Are we then all thieves for using parts we got from other people that we did not buy? RIAA and our current intelllectual property laws suggest that we are.
