You know, I can vouch for this. My team, in the past, has been very bad at gracious professionalism.

We usually have a pretty good robot, but a bad team. We know this. At one regional last year everyone was fighting and crying and everything. It was pretty bad. Even the levels of student involvement were down.

This year, though, our team has recovered 100%. We have a pretty cool robot and an even better team. We are all happy and get along great!

You could say that we are a perfect recovery story. It's great! Of course, we have a long way to go to make amends to all of the people that knew us before we got better.

Sorry for everything! ^-^' (Might as well do it as I got your attention!)

That's absolutely great Amanda! I think we had a few issues every once in a while with gracious professionalism (we always joked around that the award we would never win was the Sportsmanship Award). With two very competitive teams, we had some scuffs last year, but that's all resolved now which I am so happy about. I think our team morale also went up this year so I'm glad to see other teams change for the positive too! Can't wait to compete with/against you guys in LA.
