Re: On photographs and FVC competitions...
Personally, Our team is probably copying some of 1114's design. I spend hours (literally many many hours) looking at 1114 pics and vids. We're not going to look the same as 1114, but we're taking their ideas to lift their arm, and the use of feeders/chains to collect balls.
The reason for this, is we are lacking full time mentors, and none of our team members truly have any engineering experience. I know it does not justify us copying 1114, but realize that once a great idea comes out, there are often many companies that slightly modify and copy it. FIRST is meant to reflect the real world, and thats what people do in the real world.
