How many teams take the time to create a submission worthy description of their robot and publish it? Overall system details? Details of subsystems? Documentation of iterations? Post-Mortem Analysis?

This is a very chicken/egg discussion in my book...

John,

You stated perfectly what I have been thinking. From a CD discussion during the 2012 build season, I decided to launch FRC Designs: Behind the Design (http://www.frc-designs.com/btd.html). This portion of the site was meant to be an online version of the texts to give inspiration to teams. Is this what people/teams are looking for?

Since the launch of this portion of the site (June 2012), I have had one submission.

Could I promote the site more? Probably.
Could I do a better job at asking teams to submit? Maybe.

As you said, there is a lot of agreement among people that it should be done. But, there is not a lot of follow-up to the discussion.

I am here, available, and am more than willing to publish the information. I just need the help from people/teams.
