Just because you had a negative collaborative experience, does not mean all have to be so. When 229 worked with 217 last season we had a great experience, both teams shared the work, and both teams benefitted greatly.

The robots were distinctly unique (whenever there was a divergance of opinion that could not be reconciled, the teams went their own way), yet still very similar.

Collaboration can be a very, VERY good thing when done correctly.
