FAHA: Green Paint

How do you deal with teammates who just want to do the wrong thing in this competition? How do you deal with people who just don't get what Gracious Professionalism is? We often try to promote our ideals in this program, but not everyone understands them. There are people who do what they want at the expense of others... How do you make them understand what's right and wrong?

------------------------------------------------------------
Ahhhh! I'm sick of it. Every time I work on the camera, I get 5-10 people coming over and telling me we should paint the robot green to confuse other robots. I can't take it anymore, these are people who should know better.. seniors, engineers, etc. Do they not realize that other teams are putting just as much effort into the camera software as we are, and that painting your robot green to match the vision tetra's is not GP!!!

There's no way to deal with them. They just don't understand.

I really hope that no team is actually planning on this for malicious reasons (I don't mind the teams that have green as one of their colors, because I think most of them will actually use a different shade.)
