Beatty's 2004 Robot

[Jay Lundy]

You know, I considered not posting, but, seriously, what harm is going to come of this? Some team is not going to build something or come up with some strategy to beat beatty from one small picture. If they wanted to go for the element of surprise, well they still have that. Their robot doesn't look like much from the picture, and it never does, but they always have some crazy design that manages to do everything effectively.

If I released a picture during the build period, then I would see something wrong with that, but no harm can possibly come from this.

And if FIRST didn't want them to be browsed publicly, they never would have uploaded them in the first place. It's not like a zip file magically appears on a webserver. If they just wanted to use it to transfer to multiple locations I'm sure they have private webservers they can use for that.
