This type of business collaboration is phenomenal, and I am excited to hear that it is going on. It's awesome to hear that students are able to leverage the strength of a larger business and give back to the FIRST community at the same time. I'm curious, where the alliance is formed by many teams, are there any plans to market the various technologies (similar to the swerve drive) and manufacture/sell them themselves?
