I personally have noticed that lots of people seem to be focusing on the "We're gonna beat you" aspect this year through posts and such. I mean, yes it is a competition... but I'm not there to win. If we win, that's great, but if not.... I learn from other teams for next year and in turn still win. I mean you go to a competition, and as a rookie I met TONS of people who I'll see again this year. The competition teaches you, and if you lose, you just simply cheer for the teams that one and say good job. Last year at nationals, we were in 42nd place in our division and we knew we were outta it, but we didnt complain or anything, we just shouted as loud as we could "WHO DAT BBAT?" I just think too many people are worried about dominating others and saying they're "better" which isn't what this is all about at all. I'm there to learn, have fun, and see the various ways everyone went. Then to cheer on EVERYONE. If a team breaks down, you go over to their pits and help them, not laugh and say "we rule". That's my 2 cents.
