Design - is ChiefDelphi professional?

[Bharat Nain]

I don't like these discussions because they dwell too deep into technicalities of things. The intent of all these rules is simply that teams don't build entire robots or entire components before the start of the build. Or program entire software modules. But this is a high school competition and some teams inevitably will use some small components that were designed before build. In the big scheme of things, the little stuff just won't matter. Besides, for most applications, taking a design/software code off somewhere won't just work by default. There is usually a lot of work involved in making it work. Instead of making the rulebook even more complex, I vote we keep things simple. Even if I were to get 1114's entire CAD book, it would be of no use to me for the next season. All I can do is learn from it.
