Ok, so I'm also going to say that my opinions do not neccessarily reflect those of my team or teammates, but as a participant on a GM sponsored team, I have very strong opinions on this issue. Yes, GM likes their teams to win, just like in the real world. I am very happy about FIRST not wanting their entire competition to be based on competition, but when you have a game with winners, that basically ensures that people are going to get competitive. I mean, come on, a game with no competition? That one would be a real thriller. (yes, that was sarcastic) So, I say that if GM wants their teams to be competitive in a game which has very decisive winners and losers, then there is absolutely nothing wrong. In my team, all of the emphasis is not placed on winning, though much of it is. I say that as long as FIRST has competitive games, then GM has every right to ask their teams to be competitive in them.
Please note that these opinions are mine, and not neccessarily my team's.
