I think that taking someone's design by looking at pictures is part of learning. If scientists wouldn't have worked together and shared their discoveries/information we would still be in the stone age. Someone creates something. Someone else looks at it and says "hey, that's neato" and either builds the same thing to see how the idea works or expands on it. I think FIRST is not about having a competition with only one first place. Everyone should help others suceed as much as they do. Sure I sound like one of those guys who says "Everyone's a winner" but in the end we're not striving to win a competition, we're striving to make this world better in the future. What's better...one team who wins everytime or all the teams who are successful, and who, in the future, can put their brains together and do something we only dream of right now.
