There is more to the competition aspect of FIRST than controlling the robot, there is the self-control factor.
Kindness and respect are a big part of how we conduct ourselves as members of FIRST.

It is very safe to say that a major part of what a team is doing is marketing the mission and values of FIRST to the general public. And there is just simply no accommodation for ill behavior.
If we have done our homework we should be surrounded by the public at our events. Just last weekend at the Peachtree we had 2nd and 3rd grade girl scouts in our booth and their grandmothers.
So I'm all for behaving.
