Re: At Competition
As per our team, the upper classmen know not to curse, the freshman and us sophomores still get too riled up though sometimes. I recently made a presentation that addressed the issue and it actually worked. The freshies realized that they are representing an award winning team and that "got to them"
I'm not sure if you can really "ban" it from competition though, like stated above, its human and its just like any other competition where kids are having fun and also losing/winning. Now, you might say that its not like any other competition, but that b/c kids actually learn here in FIRST, other than that, it is still a competition that we all take very seriously. And in serious competition comes serious involvement. This could lead to some cursing if a robot topples over in an eliminations match or if it gets disabled in your last qualifier. It really hurts.
That's my own $0.02 though. MORT already discourages regular cussing as an adjective for any sentence-be it the sutdent is angry or using it for the sole purpose of as an adjective.
