This is precisely the thing a lot of teams do already, as they should, by helping other teams with repairs, coding issues, or any other robot work throughout the competition. If this were a concern, none of this constructive cooperation would be going on, at all. I applaud the OP's idea for being very much in the spirit of FIRST.

However, I agree that as some have stated, it will be difficult to get something that will interface with any robot and work in a reasonable amount of time.
