An important and incompletely answered question is whether a high-order rogue wave (RW) can be excited by the collision of first-order RWs, especially for its generation and propagation mechanisms. In this paper, the evolution properties of collisions between RWs are studied numerically for two-component coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. We find that whether a second-order RW can be successfully excited strongly depends on the location and time of the first-order RWs encountered.
