No More Teasers in 2007?

It's by no means black or white, obviously, and I mentioned in the beginning that it's possibly many will disagree with me. I just though it might be time for a friendly reminder to everyone that there are people behind the scenes and, perhaps more importantly, there're folks reading the forums during the build season that don't have hours a day to pour through threads that have no value -- and fun isn't valuable to someone trying to find an answer to their question.

I agree with this sentiment. I think some teasers are cool. I don't want to see a pile of skyway wheels lying next to a kitbot gearbox. There's nothing interesting about that. If I wanted to see that, I'd walk over to our KOP bin and pull them out.

However, I think finished custom wheels, transmissions, etc are cool, even if theyre not shown in a full pic of the bot.
