Does R13 allow for design reuse from previous years?

I've always interpreted the rule:

Quote:
ROBOT elements created before Kickoff are not permitted. ROBOT elements, including software, that are designed before Kickoff are not permitted.

Exceptions include the following:

BUMPERS,
OPERATOR CONSOLE,
battery assemblies per R5-A, and
software and designs with source files publicly available prior to Kickoff.
As to include software only. However, upon a second look, I see "and designs". Does that mean a team can make CAD files for their drive base publicly available and reuse the same design year after year (with minor modifications)? If so, that would have saved us about 4-7 days during the build season.
