Also be aware that you are judged not only by what happens at your pit, or how your robot does on the field, but also by the team's behavior everywhere else. And by team I mean anyone wearing your team shirt or colors, including siblings and parents. For example, if a judge overhears some of your team members trash-talking about other teams in the hallway, he/she will take note. Conversely, if a judge notices a team member going to great lengths to help out another team, that will be noticed as well.
