Thats a really cool paper, and if anyone wants to get into FIRST doctrine, [off topic] this would be to FIRST what the Monroe Doctrine is to American Foreign Policy.[/off topic]
But leads me to another question, how long has the Gracious Professionalism philosophy/practice been around in FIRST?
FIRSTwiki cites the 2004 manual, but it has been around for much longer than that one would assume.
