The question came up in Atlanta, and I think it’s an interesting one. With all the twins/triplets/division by chickens in the past few seasons, we’ve seen some interesting combinations arise–two great teams, an established team helping rookies, a team helping to bring another back from near-oblivion, and so on.
But if you ruled the world, and could have any two (or three) teams collaborate, who would they be? Why? (The latter part is required, although it doesn’t have to be a serious reason. ;))
Personally I think collaboration is a great idea!
For small struggling programs with minimal budgets and resources I thinks it’s the perfect way to overcome the limits that can happen due to lack of sponsorship.
383, 188, 1578, 254. Quadruplets! All from different countries… now that’d be inspirational, and a stunning logistics nightmare.
If you mean inter-team rivalries, then that could make it a challenge, but if it’s just your school, it probably won’t affect it. My team is composed mostly of two schools which are dead-set rivals. (Cedar Ridge and Orange High, although myself and another dude are from a third school, Riverside)
i would enjoy a 121, 1350, 1568 collaboration for all the Rhode Island teams to work together. we are all pretty close both distance and personally so it could happen but who knows
I would have to stick with Division by Chicken. 229 and 217, as almost everyone in FIRST knows collaborated in 2005, and we decided not to collaborate this year. Now I would love to see these 2 teams collaborate again.
And then again something that could be interesting is having both Wildstang and Beatty work together. :ahh: :ahh: Think about the robot that could come from that :ahh: :ahh:
I remember seeing the Division By Chicken project you worked on. I was a little envyous. What was really nice is that you built similar robots, but not the exact same.
As for Wildstang and Beatty…that would be an insane colab.
135 and 48 looked like they built similar robots this year. It would have been cool if they colabed ideas. They could have done some massive good.
I would love to see the triplets built by 233, 71, and 254, however I would probably have nightmares all season about having to face them.
For realistic/positive collaborations I would love to see 71, 111, 233, 11, 365, 217 etc team up with a rookie team or another team that is going through major mentor changes or sponsor losses to help the team learn every thing possible and build a competitive bot.
