If I am missing something please tell me.

My apologies. I was actually agreeing with you. I see no point in keeping raw data away from teams.



Now, I offer a more broad question to those not interested in waiting to make the information public.

As a community, we see nothing wrong with helping a team make their robot more competative at an event. It's considered a good thing. It helps lift the floor of the competition, right? We share all our "best practices" in hopes that it makes others better.

For those of you against this, or even just suggesting we wait until after the competition: why? I don't understand why you have a problem with it, and I'm trying to understand. In my mind, I see it the same way as helping a robot. We're trying to make teams better.

Perhaps I'm understanding this incorrectly (or others are), the goal would be to share the raw data, correct? We're not asking anyone to share how they manipulate the data. Just work together to get the data and let teams do whatever they choose with it. Correct?
