Team Arrow providing for itself will be a solid change from Arrow having to give a nod to The Flash whenever a gadget is needed.
Barry Allen over on The Flash has a team as well, and it appears that Team Arrow will soon become more like Team Flash in a big way.
Curtis Holt will be closely involved in Team Arrow shenanigans in Season 5, and Oliver and Co. will be able to stop importing their gadgets from Central City.
As he evolves into becoming Mr. Terrific in Season 5, one of the things we’re really exploring is differentiating [him and Felicity] by having Curtis be more like Cisco on The Flash.
