Pact of Secrecy (Stop Telling US!)

[Joe Matt]

I know that I should just skip the ones that deal with other peopel's stratige, but sometimes it can sneek up on you in the most innocent threads. As for the "anti-FIRST" message, my thing is this. I don't like it when people share because you don't LEARN from your mistakes. If someone last year said "were going to ballance the goals on the bridge without the robot on top", then everyone would do it! We learned from last year about ideas and to think out of the box (so much so that we began to think inside). This would have never happened if everyone was giving away stragities. If everyone says that they will deal with balls, then everyone else will to! Sure, there are rookie teams that need advice, but that should be on a one-to-one basis with vetran teams. Or via e-mail.
