It is my belief that everyone has knowledge because it was taught to them by a mentor figure; this means it is one's responsibility to then pass on that knowledge to some one else. The builders of the FVC 1114 robot at some point must have been taught these skills by friends, family, or mentors, therefore no knowledge should be kept secret because it was not kept secret from them. Our robots are not out for money here in FIRST which is why copyright laws do not apply. 1114 is a respectable team in many aspects, their robot has competed in public, and its whatever pictures have been taken can be used to inspire new ways of thinking in other students that have not been taught by mentors. This is how technology advances.
