Re: Ethics of 2 teams building 2 identical robots

I would steer the team discussion away from the ethical standpoint of a partnership. There's been a lot of first teams that have done it in the past, and the majority of the community has deemed it plenty ethical.

I would look into the logistical angle of the plan and see if its something the team members want to do. There's a lot of opportunities and a lot of sacrifices, and if most don't want to do it they'll spend all season focused on those sacrifices and will get less out of the program than if they hadn't gone the partnership route.
