Just because you had a negative collaborative experience, does not mean all have to be so. When 229 worked with 217 last season we had a great experience, both teams shared the work, and both teams benefitted greatly.

The robots were distinctly unique (whenever there was a divergance of opinion that could not be reconciled, the teams went their own way), yet still very similar.

Collaboration can be a very, VERY good thing when done correctly.

yo alan so u know it actually was a positive collaboration where both teams worked as one. Yes team 4 has many more resources then 980 had but the whole bot was designed between the both teams at some very long debate sessions.
we sat for most of the first week figuring out how the most effective way to shoot the ball was and from there we worked out the bot
in terms of their being identical twins that was the point seeing as we decided that together the way the bots worked was the most efficient for this years game

(just my two cents because i actually participated and didnt assume?)

yeah GUy i didnt mean it in a "bad" way it was a funny reply to what another user said about two teams working together and deciding on a desing. i know how it works as can see you guys as well as a couple of other teams benifited from the collaboration team 22 and 254 and 60 had two years ago to design a good gearbox, so i totally support it and its all cool!!

good looking robot!! i think i like the color scheme more than anything!!
