How to start collaborations with teams?
Alright, so we've all discussed collaborations from here to Tuesday, whether they're good for FIRST, how the robots have performed, and so on.
But I've never heard anything about how these partnerships were created. I've seen established teams working with rookies (see also: NiagaraFIRST triplets), and two established teams working together (see also: 254/22, 217/229). Who approaches who? How do you communicate across teams (and states, for that matter)? How do you settle on one design?

Our rookie drivers generally get their first "real match" experience at the Florida Regional which is usually a week 2 or week 3 event. That is a much easier "practice event" than IRI. - Kit Gerhart [more]
