Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Special Message from the GDC
Was this special message in response to a recent incident? It may not be constructive to recount it on this forum, if so, but I was mystified to receive this email. "FIRST does not celebrate being an incompetent jerk" is a memorable inverse of "exercise gracious professionalism."
For my part, I was very impressed with the way that teams didn't kvetch or steam when we had a one-hour delay at the MAR CHA competition here in Philly. It would have been a natural opportunity to blow a gasket. 365 MOE wasn't able to run in one match (they happened to be our alliance partners), but they didn't moan and complain, even when their bot sat out like a toaster because of a communications failure. We saw so much GP during the CHA competition that we're still amazed. (Favorite quote, from one of our team members, about team 341 (Daisy): "They're so nice, it's SCARY!")
