We'll share engineers... When we go visit other teams in the pits sometimes its hard to ignore a technical problem... we definitely helped a couple of teams this weekend at Long Island and made some good friends.
if you're looking for hired guns... come around to see 190.
: I don't think that's always the case. Our team is sponsored by Ford along with a bunch of other teams in the area, and we all work on our robots at the same place, so we all know each other pretty well. Just as an example, two of the Ford teams (301 and 313) took home an award at Western Michigan for sharing tools, food, and even engineers (I am serious, they work on each other's robots when they get bored!) I don't know how it was at VCU, but maybe it was just that teams had a lot of things to fix and didn't really have time to be social. Hopefully you'll find nationals to be a different experience.
