I will of course agree that 'bullying' and especially cursing is not to be tolerated. Ever. We were in matches with one drive team in particular that didn't stop yelling from the start of the match to the end of the match. Several instances of "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!?" at the top of his lungs. It was obnoxious and the team was instantly put into a category of teams that we would not pick for our alliance if given the chance.

With a couple exceptions, I have to say the Volunteer crew on Newton was awesome, especially the FTA. He was running around like crazy tracking down balls and was instantly at your driver station if your robot had an issue. Does anyone know his name or could tell me how to get in contact with him?
I was a volunteer on Galileo, and I want to say the our FTA Liz was also amazing, fixing every issue and tracking down balls as well. It was my first time volunteering, and I met so many incredible people. Liz is on the top of that list.
