If someone does not want photos posted of their robot, why not simply respect their wishes?
Whether you agree with the fact that they don't want photos posted or not, does not change the fact that they simply do not want photos posted. If you would like to post photos of your own team's robot, knock yourself out, but before posting photos of other teams robots, you must be aware that they may not want this.
We’ve made it no secret that VRC 1114 does not want photos posted for many of the same reasons as FTC 177, and 3165. There have been several threads before
discussing this.
