I cannot disagree more. The GDC completely reversed the gains it made last year along these lines. The failures to encourage the use of the 3rd robot in the alliance were obvious to us from day one.
And loaning parts (and the associated expertise that often comes with it) is one of the greatest ways for teams to interact and for students to learn outside of their own team organization.
