Re: Gracious Professionalism
This year at the Traverse City event Big Mo (314) was struggling with their control system, they had programmed in C++ and were having major issues. Jim Zondag volunteered to help them and proceeded to rewrite most of their code in Labview. From that point on they actually had control of their robot.
Thanks Jim, Im sure there were about a dozen teams in Michigan this year who had their year made better by you.

After giving an example of what GP is I would like to point out a few things that it is not. GP is not a way of criticizing others, it is not a way of stifling criticism, it is not to be applied to others. Too many times I see people say, "it is not GP that team xyz won 2 regionals." Or they say that to question the GDC is not GP. These are wrong, plain out wrong. Each person will have their own definition of Gracious Professionalism, it is like a swiss army knife, you use it in every situation but each person has their own idea of what is on it.
