As a student, I've become very turned off to sharing my designs on here anymore. Don't expect to see them anymore. Seriously, if every time I post something like this, a rule discussion is held, then I'm just gonna give it up, because that's not what I here for.
Sidebar over, continue your normal discussion on the issue.

It's also about working within the predetermined rules and constraints.
If this isn't intended for FIRST, the rules change next season, or the price is lowered, then it is an awesome piece of work. Otherwise, it's just not legal.
Don't get me wrong immediately jumping to the legality of it; I admire a lot of the work you post and use a lot of it for inspiration.
