Open Source is good. Whether it's a good thing for FIRST or not, I'd have to say it's not too big of a deal. It would be nice for people to share their code after competition is over. One reason why it's not exactly neccisary is that most teams, if asked, will explain how anything on their robot works. It's quite understandable that teams won't release anything about their robots until after ship-date, but after that, I think sharing anything would be nice.
