As far as PDA goes, FIRST is stressful (especially when you have problems with the robot) and I'm fine with handholding/hugs if it's used for support and stress relief. I suppose I apply the same rules that are at school to being at a FIRST competition; if you would get in trouble at school then I don't want to see it, you know?

As the captain of one of said teams (the only team, I think) being hobos on the couches outside the pit area, I'd like to say that there are some battles I'd prefer not to fight. If the choices are between clogging up the pit while people are working, clogging up the aisle where people are moving robots, and hanging out on couches, couches are the best option. We may be a group of particularly respectful highschool students, but we are still highschool students and occasionally we act like it.
