This deserves repeating. Almost everyone you will interact with, at the regional, will be a volunteer of some fashion. Make sure you thank them at every opportunity you get. They are taking time out of their busy lives to help run this event. The least we can do as participants is to show patients and extent a little of that FIRST GP to the volunteers as well, even to the refs when they make a call you don't agree with.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
