If they don't want to be graciously professional, that is their own choice, it does not concern me nor should it concern anyone else. Just everyone do your best to be a gracious professionalist.

Now, for the issue of building things over the summer and whatnot. I can pretty much just second what Cory said. Nobody uses custom pre-built stuff on a competition robot and learning by doing no matter what time of the year it is, is both gracious and professional. That is how technology advances.
