Go to Post We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? - JaneYoung [more]

Re: Ethical Question

They trust that you're being honest and following the rules. Just like with the robot - sure, you can build an awesome transmission, chassis, control system, etc during the off-season, use that part on your robot, and the judges and other teams will be none the wiser. But we've been taught this thing called gracious professionalism - disrespecting other teams by showing an obvious disregard for set rules is not at all part of this ethos.
Sorry if it sounded like that. Not really what i meant. If it is out right forbidden, then of course not, don't do it. But seeing as how it isn't, then why not? I said the "supposed to be" because a lot of people i know would say that you shouldn't anyway, even if it isn't a rule. Again, sorry for sounding like a scofflaw or something.

But I don't think it is ethical to finish an animation before the season starts. Howevever, to answer your question, I believe it is OK to use past models, maybe as background objects and not as an object of main focus.
Wow! the concept of finishing the animation before 3:00AM the day it is due totally blows my mind!
And yeah, it isn't plagiarism if you made the model yourself. No problem using your own models.
