: Many teams, like the TechnoKats (45), Kingman (60), and the Chief (47) have been invaluable to us over our first 2 years in giving advice and pointers.

Jason,

Thank you very much for your kind words... I often relate what you tell me to our students and they appreciate what you say. We appreciate your recognition, but we "share" stuff for other reasons:
1. To let teams be more competitive and catch-up to teams with more experience.
2. To embrace the spirit of FIRST.
3. To make friends.
4. To better position our team during alliance picking.
5. Just 'cause.

We may be a bit more open with our designs, but what we give away are previous years designs, not our designs from this year.

One of the things that will draw the most attention to our pit this year will be our new drill motor mount design. There is an added a feature that will make jaws drop (and maybe hats eaten).

Much like ChiefDelphi and others, we still keep trade secrets, 'cause this still is a competition.

Andy B.
