I'd say that's what many of those teams did. It also helped level the playing field by bringing the bottom up. (And, they had to reverse engineer it. Now that's a learning experience.)

True, I agree with you on that. However, there were some teams that really looked like total copies. But whatever, as long as they were built as well as the original or executed a different way I suppose it doesn't matter.
Oh Eric, btw, do you know if 121 worked with any other teams this year?
