Chili cook-off gets away with it by just calling for teams - not
necessarily F16 v F18 or Avionics v Visual. The teams may naturally form
along those lines anyway, but it is not promoted as a such.

Hmm....getting together and competing against another product group that
most of us never interact with....and that's a bad thing?  I have seen
that many of the product groups, and even the product lines have been
"locked in" and rarely interact outside their product groups.  I for one
rarely know, for example, what the other product groups are doing with
code I only wrote a few months ago.  In fact, one of the engineers loved
a change I made that he incorporate into his load.  This is not a
criticsm of L-3, it happens everywhere.  I thing getting engineers
together and competing is a great thing (can we say golf?)  I have
learned more about the company and other products by the interaction
with other people in competitive aspects.  And afterwards everyone goes
out and has a beer (or other beverage of choice) and we talk about what
a great time we had.=20

I'm probably preaching to the choir.
