Oh Eric, btw, do you know if 121 worked with any other teams this year?

I think the large number of robots very similar to 121 was due to their robot video coming out in week 3(correct me if i'm wrong) which leaves a good deal of time for some teams to be inspired by the idea and incorporate some of the advantages into their own team's design.
I'm not saying I think it is bad that teams were inspired by them, as a matter of fact, I think it is great. If 121 didn't want to share their ideas they wouldn't have put their video out until week 6.
It is very helpful to some teams with less experience when a they get to see other robots before the build season is done so the can get inspirired by the ideas and use some of them if they were stuck otherwise.
