Re: pic: Robot Name ?
Gracious Professionalism is not an empty phrase. It is something that members of FIRST value and share with others. It is something that starts with day one. Day one of becoming a member of a FIRST team.
If you are unclear as to what it is, search for posts by mentors and students that you have come to admire for their thoughtful and respectful posts and attitudes.
Read about Gracious Professionalism in the FIRST website. Spend some time talking with your team mates and your mentors about it and what it means.
How we post and what we post, reflects on us and on our teams. Always. Rookies and newer members can listen well as post. Everyone can. Spend some time reading. Start with the FIRST 2008 Manual. Read old threads. Read posts in these newer threads that are polite and wise.

The photo is clever and fun. It is following a long stream of complaints in a lot of threads and I find that (the complaints) a bit sad. Esp. when it's pretty obvious that few want to use patience and understanding or take time to read the manual and/or wait for updates.
