My Battlebots experience goes back about 10 years now, but I doubt much has changed. The pits at a BB event are much like that of a FIRST event. Most people are willing to help each other out and are friendly. Speaking of this last season ( which I had no part of) , many of the builders have been doing this a long time and know each other very well. Much of the conflict on the show was for show. Not to say that tempers don't flair in the heat of battle, but that happens in FRC also.

I am sure Paul could give you more specifics, but don't be fooled by the "reality tv drama."
