I've got 2 from this season that immediately come to mind.
Story 1: So we were very fortunate this season to be invited by 195 and 228 to practice on their full sized field with our practice robot. Our Drive Team was down there practicing, however the DT was pushing the robot to its limit, and we were not getting quite the performance we had hoped for.
One of those nights, Dave and the crew over on 228 made a couple suggestions and slight modifications that could really help improve our performance. He helped us out making them, and we instantly saw much better performance out of our robot. If it wasn't for 228's help, I am certain our achievement of Regional Finalist would not have been possible, and we're very grateful to them.
Story 2: Both for the 2011 and 2012 season, my team (1071) has been helping and assisting 3461 with different things, mainly helping them with programming, although we also had them use our build space on certain days and did some practicing with them. To us this was no big deal, as we've done it in the past, and we love working with these guys.
Well it's Thursday morning of CTR. I'm helping get things set up in the pits an stands, running around crazy like always. Billy from 3461 comes up to me and he says he wants me and my Captain to stop by their pit sometime that morning, and that they have something to show us. We head over and there in their pit is this beautiful custom made trophy thanking us for helping them out. It was a truly touching and gracious move by 3461. Even though we made it to Finalist that weekend, to me that is my favorite and most important trophy our team has ever received.
Here's a picture of the trophy:
