Re: Gracious Professionalism > Ungracious Unprofessionalism

2 Thoughts:

- Efficiency, neatness, and orderliness are useful tools, but they aren't the end-all-be-all of a team or a forum.

- My rookie team went to Atlanta this year, and they were disturbed by the lack of GP shown by other teams, in contrast to the Las Vegas Regional (the only other competition we'd been to). The friendliness and camaraderie at the Regional was missing in the pit and on the field. There were even teams who covered up their robots in the pit when asked a question! It made the team question whether they just wanted to stick with Regionals next year!
