I agree that I have seen quite a bit of design and re-work going on around FIRST and for many robotics competitions. I think teams should be designing and prototyping ideas before a build season. I understand that R28 states that designing parts for the robot before build is not allowed.
However , I think the GDC should totally remove R28 next year, because that rule discourages teams from designing in the off-season.
