Disrespect isn't anything I would like to see promoted or accepted anywhere in FIRST or in FIRST teams, on the field or off.

i've heard mentors say, "go ram that robot as hard as you can". i'm pretty sure thats disrespecting another teams robot, by telling your driver to drive into that opposing machine as hard as you can for the sole purpose to stop it from functioning. (NOTE: i chose my words very carefully there, im pretty sure a few coaches have something more severe planned for that opposing robot.). and i don't think the FIRST community is ready to see the true nature of what happens on the field.
as i said before, "what happens on the field, should STAY on the field"
