We have always done 2 separate designs, and 2 completely separate robots. The issue is we might want to make both robots the same in order to save resources, and they other members say that other teams will think this is cheating. I don't believe this, and think that this would be perfectly OK. i just wanted some other opinions that i could bring up for discussion.

Being competitive is one of our goals (and the main goal in some member's eye's), but in mine and the coaches opinion teaching more students is the main goal.
