Coopertition has actually been a huge part of all the FRC competitions, even if it isn't on field. Last season, my team had a big issue with our programming, and our pit neighbors were more than happy to help us. Though we didn't make it past qualification, we were (and still are) extremely grateful for their help.
The way coopertition ties into the game would be a big part of it, as well. I think the easiest way to tie it in would be in a hockey-esque game. Someone did mention earlier that they make carpet pucks.
