The question of how Coopertition plays into all this is an interesting one. Copying is one thing, but in borrowing a minibot you don't even get the experience of building it, and an even lesser admiration. However, FRC is encouraging this behaviour. Perhaps when one team had no minibot at all, this is the slightest bit understandable, but in cases I've seen, a borrowed minibot has simply replaced another, and a team has undermined its own work to seek greater success.
