1369 built two bases, 1902 built two arms. Idea is that building two of something is easier than building one of something. 1369 is great at drive trains, 1902 is good at top end and programming. By building it this way we were able to finish hardware and wiring at end of week 5, and that allowed us to have a good auto mode and driver practice.

We should have a strong start at florida regional.

How are you accounting for cost of the parts that the other team built for you? In previous year's I believe the ruling was that you have to include cost of labor for parts that were not built by team members. I seem to remember that when Kingman & the Cheesy Poofs first did this they shared the design but each built their own parts.

btw I am very much in favor of collaboration - it is not as easy to execute successfully as it sounds.
