Re: Another Culture Change

This is really unfortunate and I hope the mentors on all teams give their team a serious talk about this kind of behavior.

From my own experiences with COMETS Robotics, I have had to face similar criticism from teams. Last year was our rookie year, but we had three members (myself included) that were veteran FRC members from another team.

So when we had an incredible amount of success, we made it to Einstein, there were many teams who told us (sometimes to our faces) that we were a "rookie" team. I put it in quotes because they were implying that our team didn't deserve the amount of awards we received.

So I can understand the terrible behavior that 1114 experienced, and it's my hope that this kind of attitude ceases to exist in the FRC.
