I personally think it's a great thing to do in general. It can save time for teams (especially rookies) who don't really know what to do for something. I know many teams don't have the best of dongles... and I know other ideas were like trannys and sprockets and such... and I mean, many teams don't have the facilities/amount of people to do things like transmissions. If another team has a good thing to sell... I think it's great cause it's win-win, the team recieving gets something they may not be able to do themselves as well and has another team or teams to talk to if something breaks for support, and the team creating it of course gets the funding. Both teams also become close and form a network from the transaction, and cooperating is what FIRST is all about. Working with another team like that can only help make relationships between those teams better.
