Our alliance came up with a strategy to beat them last year, and we almost succeeded. We remain coopetitors with Team 60.
I was puzzled by all the controversy over their collaboration. I didn't feel threatened by it. I didn't feel it meant we had to collaborate in the same way to compete well, or that the sky was falling and everyone would be making the same robot. Creative solutions, realizing "life" isn't fair...all went thru my head - that it was still going to be fascinating to see their designs and how it all panned out.
Many, many years ago in high school modeling the teacher said that Cosmopolitan Magazine does all kinds of crazy things in order to get it's readership to make one tiny change, make a little purchase, move a tiny step forward in some area...
I can be fascinated by Martha Stewart - but certainly can't hold a candle to her. However she's taught me a thing or two that I can incorporate into my life.
60 inspires our team.
