Re: [moderated] Collaboration
As has been noted:

1. There is no rule prohibiting multiple entries from single "groups" (schools, districts, pairs of schools, etc.).

2. The collaboration between 254 and 60 this year is no different than the collaboration that exists WITHIN a single team. (Yes, they did it across a long distance, but there are teams made of students that come from across cities, from different schools, etc.)

It seems to me that 60*254 is functioning as a single team with multiple entries - which is perfectly legal. As would be any "super-partnership" made of what were previously single teams.

Which brings up the question: Why don't those teams which have the resources to do so enter multiple times? I mean some teams have budgets two or three TIMES larger than others - they could easily enter multiple robots at single events, or travel to many different regionals in a season using different robots...

Just asking.
