I promise you that a calm approach to the mentors of the team you are upset about will yield a much better experience and outcome.

We are all in this because we care... I don't think there are any bad or mean people in FIRST. I'm sure 99.75% of the time it's really a misunderstanding...
Don, why would 470 feel inclined to try to approach the team after being snubbed and ignored when they approached them before the match? The ball was in Adam's court, not the other way around.
