Re: Cheesecake robot. How far is too far?
To me it comes down to the mindset of the receiving team. Did they want cheesecake? Did they expect cheesecake?

"We were in trouble and team XYZ saved the day by giving us their ABC (or helping us make ABC with their resources)" - awesome. Super GP, teamwork, good for everyone involved.

"We were in trouble so we approached team XYZ and offered our drive base as a platform to build an awesome alliance strategy involving harpoonsABC" - also cool.

"We were picked by team XYZ but it turns out all they wanted was something they could attach their ABC to. We didn't even get to use our own" - not awesome. Not GP. Good for the cheesecaking team but not exactly morale boosting for the receiving team.
