Bingo. (You must spread some reputation ...)
Building two robots that are alike (and possibly a 3rd practice robot) requires more precision, especially if parts are meant to be interchangeable.
The "unfair/unethical" aspect of this is if Team A designs and builds a robot for Team B. Then B's experience with the robot is only driving it, and A has robbed the members of Team B of valuable design and build opportunities.
As long as both teams are equal partners in the design and build, members from both teams get to learn and be inspired from the whole process.
