I personally don't think they're dueling ideals and I probably should've given the thread a different name. However, I think there are some people/teams who try to take Gracious Professionalism to a whole other level where its no longer gracious professionalism but some other monstrous thing that ruins the competition aspect of FRC.
I also don't think I like this whole cooperatition points system. While I think cooperatition should be part of the game, giving an incentive isn't the right way to improve it. Just by virtue of being an FIRST Robotics Team you should automatically and without persuasion of any sort, play with cooperatition in mind.
