Re: No More Teasers in 2007?

I agree. I think sometimes teasers get out of hand.
However, I don't think it should be limited to complete robots or mechanisms.
Take the word teaser itself. They tease people, and provoke interest. Teasers are meant to spark interest, and I know that completed robots do that, but not in the same way as partly revealing a robot or mechanism.
We can see those on websites and such.
I love this teaser Rees took here...
I think that this picture is a true definition of a teaser. If you look closely, you can see part of the arm mechanism used to lift up the boxes in 2003, in the reflection of the light. The picture reveals some of the robot, but not the whole thing. It adds suspense to the completion of the robot, and not the completed robot itself.
So what to do to solve this...? Maybe allow each team to post one teaser, and one completed robot picture? Maybe you could start a thread of 2007 robot teasers, and one for 2007 completed robots. Just a suggestion. You could even make the forum locked, so people have to go through a mod to post something. But I also think that people need to come to the understanding that a pile of wires, or just a pile of metal is in no way a real teaser, and it doesn't help CD users or mods.
