254 and 968 have had identical robots every year since 2006.

The manufacturing is split between both teams. Every motor and sensor is wired exactly the same, and code is 100% shared. The binaries that run on 254's robot will also run on 968's.

Completing a collaboration effort is not an easy task. It takes tons of effort and years of engineering experience to really do it correctly. Believe me, the last thing you would be worried about if you undertook this effort is the syntax of conditional statements in C.
