Re: Food for thought

Last year, Division by Zero worked with ThunderChickens and Dynamos for a large portion of the design. Many of the parts were built by them and then shipped to us, but that was mostly because they had the better facilities. Everything was also assembled and tested by the individual teams. In the end, if you looked at pictures of the robots side by side yes they were simular but they were also very unique.

We were a coalition. A team of teams, working together and exchanging ideas. Personally, I feel that is very much with in the spirit of FIRST. Much more so than if someone sat in their own little corner and said, no we're not talking to anyone. I think its really cool how teams help each other out in the pits, and we then extended it to build season.

There's quite likely someone out here who knows more about the details then I do but figured I'd throw it out there.
