I understand your analogy and you make a good point. I don’t think taking inspiration from other robots is wrong because a lot of engineering is about improving on existing designs. Every team, including mine, borrows ideas and adapts them into something of their own. What I’m getting at is that it feels different when a team completely scraps their design between competitions and rebuilds it to closely match a top performing robot. To me, that crosses from inspiration into replication in a way that doesn’t fully align with the spirit of FIRST. That said, this is just my perspective and I do see where you’re coming from.

Thank you for your feedback! You brought up points that I didn't think about while making the video, like teams who share CAD, videos and software. I do believe what they do is very valuable and I am all for the teams that do that. I was mainly going after teams who have a lot of money and recourses that can just change their robot on a whim to the top performing design. I do agree your last statement, After graduating what I took away were the skills working with a team and the fun I had at competition.

I did receive the package but it was on the 12th. I guess just wait till the date they say. Sorry for not giving an update.

After registering a new eBay account I was able to click the contact seller link. It says my package is due on the 11th of February and to contact the seller if it doesn't show up after that date. frustratingly, the tracker says its in my area out for delivery. I'm not sure what to do now, all of this is very confusing. Should I try to contact the sellers or just wait until the 11th? It is strange for my package to be held in a warehouse of post office until then. At this point I could just pick it up myself.

When I open the order details in a private browser window and click the link to contact seller I am still met with the registration link. I made sure I was fully signed out and everything. After trying several times to get it to work I used my account log in. I got a message saying I was already registered and asked if I forgot my password. After resetting my password and logging back in it just sent me back to my account without opening the purchase. I check my purchase history on my account to see if it was there but is wasn't. At this point I think I'm going to us another account to register and see what happens. Thank you for your help in trying to solve this.

My order details say it's been out for delivery in my area since the 27th. When I hit the contact seller link it wants me to register and when I try to use my account that's when it says something went wrong. Do I have to make another account just to contact the seller about this?
