Regarding "extreme collaboration" from last year, we need to keep in mind that these teams were approved by FIRST to do this. Also, one of these collaborating teams won the Chairman's Award at the Championships (kudos to 254).
So, while some may think that this is wrong, FIRST has approved and awarded it.
