Re: At Competition
I'm going back to the OP's opening post.
The concern is for the members of the team and the families that are in the area touring the pits. I believe we promote FIRST as being a family friendly event.
How do you know potential judges or sponsors aren't among those touring the pits? Many judges come from corporate sponsors and teams are always trying to develop stronger partnerships along these lines. Would you want your team to be responsible for having a potential judge or sponsor for FIRST change their mind because of your team's attitudes and behaviors?

I respect the concerns the OP had regarding the team and the families that were walking by. While at events, walk through the pits and see how many teams you can find that have pit and drive crews in which the majority are female. See if those teams are in the majority as a whole. Cussing and foul language aren't gender biased, trust me I know - but given the work atmosphere in the pit area and the gender majority of many of the crews, it can sometimes feel that way.
