Re: Multiples 2007

I can think of reasons for teams to do this, if even once.
- As miketwalker and Allison K have mentioned, helping/aiding each other. Lack of resources can make things like collaboration a successful learning experience for everyone involved.
and
- curiosity - Working together for one robot is fun and challenging enough - teams working together brings new challenges and ways of working together - expanding the pool of talent, resources, opportunities

There has been scattered remarks about veteran teams and their struggles, some dying out. This is something to look at - as FIRST expands creating more rookie teams, we need our veteran teams around to help support the rookies with experience, knowledge, and the can-do attitude to help them get through build and the competitions and to help them understand FIRST. That is why our Hall of Famers are so valued and important.
