Re: Positive Experiences with Dominant Teams
This year at championships, I had some free time (I know free time at CMP? ABSURD), so I hung out with some kids from 33 at the base of a swing-set in the hallway outside the Archimedes stands. Much to my surprise, members of one of the best teams in the division were totally down to earth.
That made me realize that students from "Elite" teams were really no different from students anywhere else.
Seems obvious, but at the time I was in a mindset of "DUDE ITS THE KILLER BEES HOLY CRAP THEY'RE REALLY GOOD AND THEIR ROBOT IS SO SLICK AND..."

Tbh, I've never had a bad experience with an "elite" team. They're usually even more gracious and professional than non-elite teams.

That's just my two cents.
