Re: Another Culture Change
In FIRST, ignorance is NOT bliss, it is the most detrimental thing that can happen to a team. Veterans and rookies alike, love to hate on the big dogs before learning about what a team is really all about.

Mentors AND students, especially those who have a lot of influence in their area, should make sure that those around them are well educated about each and every team before things like this escalate into more severe situations.

Snide remarks from upperclassmen and mentors piss me off the most. They should know better.

I urge everyone at their respective regional to educate the people around you. Show them what the benefits of having an elite team as your friend can be, I know that I have gained A LOT from the giants I look up to.

Make this competition about winning, not whining. Make it about learning about others, not hating on them.
