Thanks for your insight Eric. Coming from NH, and only attending the GSR, I had not realized it was tried, or let alone that this was the case. It definitely makes sense.

This was sort of what I was hinting at, at competition is one thing, and it wouldn't really have an impact on "competition and jealousy". My thought was more with regards to fixed alliances or "robot teams" I think this would create an interesting dynamic. Imagine 2010 if you worked throughout the season with 2 other teams. Think of how many more suspensions we would have seen. Also coordinated autonomous would be quite a feat, also you would see many more teams with autonomous.

Currently "collaboration" in FIRST is synonymous with identical or mass produced. Imagine if collaboration was more working to accomplish a feat that could not be done individually.
