Re: No More Teasers in 2007?

Half the fun of a teaser is just that... teasing. If I saw a completed bot or chassis or anything nearly finished I wouldn't be teased at all. I do agree that some photos of bolts and chain and other random parts are uneccesary, however, the lasercut/waterjet parts in the first "bad" teaser link you posted are perfect teasers! It makes people think "how could those possibly fit together, and what function does that mechanism serve." Bottomline - it's fun guessing what people are doing. Truly good teasers should give people a good place to start guessing, while still leaving some mystery and uncertainty.
