I thought the season would play out with teams working together during build more this year, but I have not really seen that play out.

In reality, there are times in life where you are paired up with someone that may not have as great of abilities as you. Do you bring them up, or try to work around them? All depends on the situation I guess.
It seems like many of the FIRST elite, for the most part the same teams that you commonly see on CD, have just accepted it as a fact of life that most of FRC will continue to exist on a level far below him. Every year you see people here talk about how easy it is to score a few points in autonomous, build a simple manipulator, etc, but more than half of the teams in FRC come to competition without those things - then (some of) the "elite" teams complain when they are placed on alliances with them.
