Absolutely agree. If I learned one thing in FRC as a student it was that you take a lot more out of your failures than you do your successes. By promoting a culture of taking an easier route to success, we aren't advocating for real learning.

This isn't a problem that anyone on Chief Delphi is disagreeing with. It's about the culture outside of us that we need to continue changing.
