Re: YMTC: Bluateam Buys Redateam's 2009 Discounted Controller

Setting aside all ethical issues. I believe that this is not an example of coopertition. Coopertition in MY belief is selfless... and not done for personal/team gain...teams help other teams simply because its the right thing to do without any regard to gaining any advantage.

In this case the BLUE team is gaining an advantage ... getting 3 cRIO's in two years at discounted price... RED team gets "financing" that allows them to purchase a new cRIO quicker than they could themselves.

Nothing wrong with this... but I simply don't consider it an example of Gracious Professionalism... It is simple business cooperation... not coopertition...

Again this is MY belief... and I don't mean to put words in any one else's mouth.

Good luck to everyone this year!!
