Team Work & Sister School

[Noel]

So, my team, has a sister school, team 1893. Both teams used to be one, I guess you could say, but then split up. (This was before I joined).

But, we still work together a lot, share materials, people, spaces, all that stuff. I find it wonderful and great. The epitome of what FRC is all about.

This year, we're building two separate robots, but they look identical. Of course the programming will be different and the drivers and stuff are different of course. But, it's practically the same robot, with a few minor differences, and with a different code.

So, your opinion, do you think that our mega mega similarities would hinder us in anyway?

I mean, I see all the advantages (mega alliance), but I'm looking at it from well, my perspective as a member of the team.

So, I wanted to ask others what they think about this "issue"? So, I can see how other teams may react in the competition, and what potential changes (not to the robot of course, but in general), that we may need to make.

Thanks!

(soon there should be a vid up of our robot/pics)
