This is probably the most important point of all. What you do related to your team in ANY capacity, good or bad, will come back to your team. Not just from judges but from other FIRST teams as well.
So whether that is at competition, online or out in the community you should be mindful of how you carry yourself because there's alot more at stake than just your own popularity in the greater FIRST community but the good name of your team as well.
