In the spirit of all that Chief Delphi and FIRST is about, why not share your design and let us share knowledge and experiences with you? Look at the picture posted right before you ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/25886?), that is what Chief Delphi and FIRST is all about. They built a totally unique Mecanum drive system and are sharing with the whole FIRST community here on Chief Delphi. |
I have to say, it seems like a decidedly 'un-GP' move to go ahead and insinuate a lack of GP on their part because they don't wish to disclose everything about their system at the drop of a hat for everyone else. There's nothing wrong with competitive advantage through superior design, which is easily negated if they publicly share that design. It should be their option to share, not their requirement, and they shouldn't be criticized should they choose not to.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
