Why should you not want to win?
Why do we celebrate mediocrity as a culture?
Why do we look down on people who have competitive drive?
FIRST is a lot of things, but at it's heart it is a robotics
competition. When we are at a competition we're there to win. There's a lot of other great things we get out of the actual competition like meeting other teams, learning about other teams robots, etc, but it IS a competition and if you aren't there to compete and try to win, why bother?
A desire to be the best you can at everything you do should be what all teams strive to teach their students, in my not so humble opinion.
