I have to be honest and say it kinda pisses me off to see these copy-catters getting away with the hard work of others... Sad thing is, they will probably make a proper chunk of money, far exceeding the amount of effort they put into the hard part of the exercise.
I completely agree. I didn't realize how close to the RBX this thing is untill I just looked at the installation page on their site and then reading they are working on a nozzel.

You know it's not the technology used that bothers me it is how it is duplicated and then claimed their own. I think this is the lessor of 2 evil's though. Danger Den and the RBX maker can get a little taste of their own copying BS. Still doesn't make it right though.

It pisses me off aswell, but what can you do? Just another reason I stepped down from making and sharing block ideas. Not to mention just no time to do it anymore.
