Re: Philosophies on design reuse

Numerous times the topic of re-using something fabricated from a previous year (we often have had a non-functional robot by the next build season and reuse COTS components) there is always a student who says something like

"Why can't we just re-use the bumper fabric with our team numbers already on them, how will 'they' know ?"

I then proceed to explain to them (or get them to realize) that 'they' are (in part) the judges and inspectors at the competition and did they notice that one of their mentors is a Lead Robot inspector and two other mentors are Inspectors?

Its hard to get the notion across that there really is no 'they' and 'us'-- we are all part of the big FRC family.
