Re: "Gracious Professionalism"

Gracious professionalism is:

Working together to come up with solutions to problems; on your own team and especially with other teams

Pointing out that loose wire or bolt on your opponent's robot while you're queued for a match

Taking time to think of what other teams may need as you pack for a competition

Realizing that you've got more students working in other team's pits than your own

Taking care and time not to make work or messes that others will need to fix/clean up

Understanding how your actions affect others and keeping this front-of-mind

Gracious professionalism is one of the aspects of FIRST which make the FIRST experience really rewarding and enjoyable. It's also really good practice for a professional career.
