I could tell that by you asking the question. I find it somewhat bizarre that these teams think that there was any way that this minibot design was going to stay "under wraps".

This is not the first, or even the second place I have seen this design, it is the third. I have a picture of 1625's minibot from Wisconsin and I saw 2415's in person at Peachtree this weekend. Both the picture and in person looks gave me sufficient information to build a similar minibot without much trouble.

Judging by the post by Chris is Me, this minibot design is circulating around New England as well.

The nature of the minibot task is such that by Champs many minibots will be very similar. Instead of spending time posting about people copying it, your time may be better spent optimizing both minibot and deployer to get every last tenth you can. I don't like it either, haven't since kickoff, but that's just the way it is.
