What's the point of competing if you're not going to be competitive? I'd say go for it, I like the idea of two teams coming together and devising something that just one team may not have been able to come up with alone. If you guys are able to successfully collaborate and create something outstanding, I'd say the more power too you! Also, I agree with Alan's post. Very well said.
