Does anyone know the details of the FVC event registrations agreement? I didn't see any mention of this in the FAQ. |
There is no such thing as an FVC event registration agreement, at least not for ConnVex.
Wow, while I understand and respect the decision not to want to reveal a robot's design via photos, it's seems a bit ungracious to me. FIRST isn't about the competition, it's about the inspiration so I agree that teams should not blatently copy but participate in the design process. However, I am letting teams that are coming to ConnVex know right now... I have worked hard to find a photographer to document the event, and have invited media to come to report on the event. There's no guarantee that your robot's photo will not be displayed somewhere. In fact, I hope it is, because then the word about FIRST will have spread!
