Re: Ethics of 2 teams building 2 identical robots

Quote:
So because our teams are based out of the same shop, the 2 teams would be combined into 1 during build season. Once competition started, the team would split into 2 in order to have the 2 separate drive teams and pit crews. Would this be collaboration or something else.
Isn't this exactly how frc494 and frc70 do it every year? The Martians and More Martians have had this setup since around 2006.

I think its cool....and definitely not cheating or unethical. I think it's a great way for large teams to get more students involved in building the robot.
