I would say that this is your problem. This probably made the students on 1510 feel that a robot that they helped build was being used by another team at a competition that they could not attend. I am no expert on collaboration, but I would suggest that you keep the two robots separated and have each team design their own robot and clearly define which robot belongs to which team at the beginning of build season. If I was a student on 1510 who had worked on a robot that another team got to take to championships, I would be quite unhappy. You may want to talk to 254 and 1868 to see how they keep the two teams separated while sharing a lab.
