I would go as far as to say this is not just an issue between team members and workers, volunteers, and event staff, but I would say this a problem between teams too.

There was an instance at the Boston Regional where students from another team ripped down the banner that some of our students spent hours working on the day before, and then ended up tearing our banner. Every time we put it back up, it was ripped down again. Then one of the students cursed at one of our college mentors, saying some very nasty things, for no apparent reason.

Behavior at competitions and anywhere else for that matter not only reflects your team, your school, your town, even your state, but also represents FIRST.

I know the majority of students in FIRST would not act that way, but "it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch"
