I never like hearing attitudes like this. So selfish...
Assisting another team is not supposed to be for your own good, but for everyone's. If all teams shared this opinion you wouldn't have teams sharing knowledge or collaberating, not to mention a community which strives to assist each other like the one that exists here on chief (or FIRST on the whole).

I understand it's a competition, but that doesn't mean you go around not helping other teams because it "might" help you down the road.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't really try this particular situation either, but more for fealisibility issues listed above than anything.
