: 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?

The Team that fails this year Could Potentially be the Team that you are COMPETITING WITH, NOT AGAINST this year. If there wasn't open computer architecures and sharing in the computer world, then we wouldn't be communicating via the Internet today.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate this should locate a book titled "The Hackers" author? It's all about the early computer days and how a bunch of MIT student hackers shaped the future of computers we have today.
Their early dream was open architectures, which eventually spawned off the Internet of today.
My point is: with First making competition a combined sharing we should all be pulling for the other teams NOW MORE THAN EVER!
We don't build it for them, we just share what we know and ULTIMATELY we all BENEFIT from SYNERGY.

The SUM OF THE PARTS IS GREATER THAN THE WHOLE.

THe students will have plenty of opportunity to develop Trade Secrets once they enter industry.

Just my philosophical two cents worth.

The winners are ALL the contestants, and NOT THE FINALISTS. I plan to cheer just as hard this year for Delphi and others as for our own team!
