Thoughts on Ri3D and BuildBlitz

[Jay O'Donnell]

I recently thought of an analogy to sum up what I believe the OP was trying to say.

Essentially teams can use Ri3D as either a way to copy designs or to use the ideas shown as inspiration. I see the teams that just copy these designs as the kids who copy other students homework in school. Do we celebrate those kids and tell them they've been inspired? No, we call that plagiarizing and cheating. The teams the use Ri3D to inspire their kids and come up with even better designs are like the students who instead of just copying answers, ask others for help with their homework so they can understand it. I think we can all agree that having teams who use Ri3D as inspiration are beneficial, but I think people aren't realizing that having teams who just copy might not be so beneficial. Just my two cents.
