Re: [FTC]: Defense vs. Gracious Professionalism

It seems that many people confuse gracious professionalism/good sportsmanship with not doing things that are part of the game, such as blocking opponent robots and taking opponent pucks out of field play. But just like stealing the ball or blocking a shot in a basketball game isn't bad sportsmanship, blocking a robot or dumping opponent's pucks to help your alliance out isn't opposed to gracious professionalism; it's just another way of doing better than your opponent.
