But Joe. Isnt that what FIRST wants us to do, give up all the info available and share. Theres no competition so why not just give it up?

: While I know that this year is a special year in terms

: information falls under the trade secrets domain.

: If a team does figure out how to do this, I say more
: power to them. I would not expect them to share this
: information with everyone else. They worked hard, they
: thought hard, they should get the benefit of that hard
: work and thinking.

: Specifically, they should stand out in the crowd at
: their regionals and at the nationals and either score
: high enough to be a drafting team or be outstanding
: enough to be drafted by those that are drafting.

: Helping teams that need help is one thing, giving away
: your trade secrets that make you less competitive is
: yet another thing altogether.

: Am I out in left field on this? Please comment.

: P.S. As the ONLY team that has never finished lower
: than first place at a regional they attended, Cheesy
: Poofs ought to publishing THEIR trade secrets rather
: than asking others to share theirs ;-)
