I brought that idea up at kickoff, but people were especially skeptical that such a thing might be possible. The amount of coordination between teams would be insane, especially if there isn't another robotics team near you.
Coming from the Montreal region, almost half of the teams at the Montreal regional will be rookies (either brand new teams, or 1 to 2 years old). Granted, some of them are insanely good, and are quickly catching up to us, but still, it would be really hard to organize and get everyone to stick with it.
If we could devise a standardized way to get two robots to climb together, that
would be cool... but would it be a waste of time?
