I have to say that they were pretty darn good robots. Seeing them play in Toronto (my first regional to watch i was in gr 5 i think) was pretty darn cool. But it did take part of the fun away form it. :P

I'm 99.9999% certain that you're reading something into the original post that wasn't there.

I'll save you the trouble of searching: back around 2006, 3 good teams in Canada built 4 identical robots (1 per team and 1 shared practice robot). Legality was not an issue (having been decided in 2004 on a different collaboration). However, some people got all upset about 3 teams building identical robots (and made the normal "mentors built the robots" and the less-normal "they bought their robot kits from some outside source and just had to assemble them" claims).

There was never a claim that one team built the robot for the others. I can't think of a single case where that's been claimed through the 3 major collaborations that I can think of, in fact. It's been claimed that the mentors did all the work (untrue, BTW).

Thank you :)

I am sorry to get people upset, collaboration is not the same as what I was saying. Having two teams (or three) to come together and design something, is not the same as one team giving the design to another.

Re: rookie team (PLEASE HELP!)

Jamie I would highly recommend poking around on youtube and thebluealliance.net to watch match videos and more specifically youtube for robot unveiling videos. Great way to get a visual library of designs and see them in action. Watching 2007 videos really helped to get the creative juices flowing for me this past year.
