Well I'm prepared to be the scape-goat (or flame-goat) for Battlebots, so here's my opinion.
From what I've heard, although BB is a competition, there is a lot of "gracious professionalism" that goes on behind the scenes, and even in front of the cameras. It is a competition and the object is to win, but you don't win any more by obliterating your opponents bot after it has been disabled. Also, rumor has it that the same level of assistance, part sharing, etc. is found in the BB pits as the FIRST pits.
My definition of gracious professionalism is knocking someone down during a match, but being the first to help them up once the match is over.
