This puzzle is inspired by and has similar rules to the series of puzzles by Sleafar.
Definition. A copycat chess opening is a sequence of moves starting from the conventional starting position, where every move by White (including the last one) is copied by Black identically, resulting in a symmetrical position with respect to the mid-horizontal axis. Every move must be legal, but the last move doesn't have to be checkmate, hence the name opening instead of game.
What is the shortest copycat chess opening in which a rook captures another rook?

I hope this answer doesn't get sniped...
It did get sniped, but building off of @penguino's answer, we can cut the opening to just 7 moves:
1. a4 a5 2. b4 b5 3. bxa5 bxa4 4. a6 a3 5. a7 a2 6. axb8=R axb1=R 7. Rbxa8 Rxa1
Explanation:
We can't have one of white's rooks that's already on the board take one of black's rooks, since that move would not be copyable. Thus, the only other way to have a rook takes rook opening is pawn promotion. This quickly leads us to the pawns on the a- and b-files (or g- and h-files), and thus, the solution above.
