Can FRC Crescendo teams form partnerships or alliances outside of matches?

Teams participating in the FRC Crescendo competition are indeed encouraged to form partnerships that enhance learning and facilitate the sharing of strategies. Such collaborations can be beneficial as they allow teams to exchange ideas, resources, and best practices, which can lead to improved performance and innovation in robot design and programming. By working together outside of matches, teams can build a supportive community, fostering a collaborative environment that contributes to the growth of all involved.

This practice aligns with the core values of STEM education promoted by FRC, emphasizing teamwork, cooperation, and collective problem-solving skills. Forming these partnerships helps students gain a broader perspective on robotics and the challenges they face, ultimately enriching their overall experience in the competition.
