Re: Does collaboration do good and evil?
The spirit of fundraising collaboration is a good one. Teams 461, 1646, and 1747 have a modified situation. We are under the umbrella of Purdue FIRST Programs, who has many of our big-name sponsors and thus splits up those funds. However, that makes a few financial affairs a lot easier to work out. Instead of community industries (such as Purdue Schools of Science, Engineering) being fought over for sponsorship by multiple teams, all of the teams benefit from big sponsors.

At the same time, each of the three teams has individual sponsors whose efforts help take care of other things the team needs. It's a win-win situation. If NiagraFIRST has a similar situation, I am not surprised.
