But in many cases the mentors are the same. In 2000 and 2004 we had hanging bots; if we have another one next year, I bet a lot of older teams (yes, mine would be one of them) will go back to the old designs and evaluate what worked and what didn't. Which wouldn't necessarily give them an advantage!
