[Henry Williams]

I will tell you a story, I think this shows well how gracious professionalism and a competitive spirit may coexist well. It is the finals of cagematch (an indiana off season invitational) and I am Driving for my team, we are winning and a team who's rookie driver is getting frustrated (i will not divulge the name/# of the team) decided to ram our robot to try and stop us from scoring. It didn't work they got a yellow card and we won the match. In between that match and the last match we were in the pit and the other team requested a tool. Without hesitation I took it over to them and they fixed their robot in time for the final match where they rammed us for a red card. In the heat of the moment I was pretty mad but I no longer hold any kind of grudge and I was still pretty psyched because we won the second competition in our team's history despite everything. Now one of their former team members is a mentor on our team. I think this shows how cool FIRST can be.
