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.

If you don't mind, could you please elaborate on how this level of collaboration began?
Were the two teams different, and then they began to work together? Were you guys mentoring that team? Did the two mentors began talking? Did you guys try a partial collaboration in your first year, or was it full-blown right away?
Thanks in advance,
