Re: Where has the GP gone???
For the past few days, I've been inclined to suggest that we all push away from the keyboard. Reason being - we are tired. Build and competition season can take it out of us, mentally and physically, and there has been little time to regroup/replenish.

The teams that have traveled over long distances and competed in multiple regionals really have to strive in areas of rest, regaining/retaining perspective in some areas, replenishing. The teams that have traveled to and competed in one regional still deal with the stresses and the results of the competition experience.

Edges are frayed, emotions are fresh and raw. This creates the perfect opportunity for making posts that do not always reflect the best we have to offer as individuals and as team members, if we do not practice self-restraint. GP is tough and will get through this. At the same time, each of us should try our best to remember who we are and how we impact our FIRST community by our conduct, our actions, and our words.
