Just a thought
does anyone actually think that this sort of super collaboration would occur? I think it's great if a more capable team is helping one with less capabilites (machining etc.), but I don't think any team would build a large portion of someone elses robot, or the whole thing. There's too much team pride out there for that.
This really dosen't answer the real problem though. If a high level of collaboration happens between teams of common location or sponsorship, first will have to do something to stop it if it happens. Just imagine the capabilites they would have
. It would make the game impossible for everyone else, and end up defeating the entire purpose of FIRST if a couple of teams had such a degree of domination.
