Re: Where was the GP at Championships?

I witnessed this as well.

A few team members and myself gently stopped a FIRSTer from another team who was screaming at a guard. Fortunately he calmed down quickly. I was embarassed for his team and for FIRST.

As FIRST grows larger this will be more of a problem. The problems of society will start to creep into the FIRST experience. The answer is grassroots action. This can only be solved one team at a time. Coaches need to teach the underlying FIRST principles all year long and hold a very high standard for coaches, students, and parents.

On our team, if you don't get the message, you don't travel!
