With help and mentoring support from an experienced team, they can get that much more out of the experience but in the end, they will still be able to say "This is our 'bot!"

Good luck in 2007.

I think that you understand how the triplet collaboration worked, All three teams put in alot of work on their robot and all of the teams certainly could say "this is my bot" This thread turned ugly quickly because people didn't understand the concept of the collaboration. I know your intentions were good but I don't think the triplet debate should continue, 1114 used the collaboration to start up 2 new teams both of whom this year will be competitive with out the collaboration, I am sure whatever they will be doing this year to assist the new teams will be equally effective. Hopefully this time there will be more focus on what it is they do rather than bashing them for the way they do it.
