Some other teams had an OD on stupid pills or something because they were not courteous at all to anyone sitting behind them or anyone. Ive even told a few people to get out of the way when i was trying to walk down the stairs in the arena, its as if peoples minds freeze during matches, in a time of stupidity or not.
i am trying to make this nicely said. Do you or anyone ever get excited that your team will win a match that is important? We had one guy ask if we couldn't come down to the front and cheer our team on any more Friday and i was in shock! So when the robot is about to stack, i don't see how you can get excited. you spent 6 weeks for the robot to do this one function and all you can do is sit down and clap about it?
