JVN hit it on the head, I didn’t have to much time to go into further detail about copying, and I’m not saying its a problem. Its just simply to many people copy and don’t lean and thats what really bothers me.
I also agree with Thondor, However some elegant thinking to the same problem as everyone else gives you a very unique design, I know HOG hasn’t been released, but its twin. Devil’s Advocate would have suffocated the opposing alliance to a maximum of 14 points with an 8 foot arm. In theory of course.
Yes, if you wish. You have a bigger envelope than me so I can see about 5 more tanks easy in HS if you did something like I was.
I’m not sure why, but I am reading this as if it was a spiteful tone.
Weather or not I reveal our entire design is entirely up to me and my comrades. But to keep things relatively causal, How about a challenge? Something that will rack your brain and get thinking on a different level?
But one reason we do not reveal every little thing as we design it is that some of it is really good, some of it not so good, and some of it just plain crazy. But it still doesn’t mean we have to post everything.
Another reason is I have been on the tail end of this copying bolt for bolt thing, and quite simply as much as I was honored by it, there is still a little bit of myself that was saying “Wow they just stole my design” What I post is enough information for someone to figure out what we could be doing if you were clever enough to think why things were done that way.
Yet another reason why our design are locked down is simply the way we do things. Our design standards have changed in the past Month and to my knowledge most of them have never been done before in VEX, and I know a few people can vouch for me here.
Anyway, I hope you understand my reasoning, and I gladly invite you and anyone else to really think what we are doing with 13 or so air tanks.
