Re: Gracious Professionalism

This is a story I heard at FIRST Place 4-6 years ago. I hope that they still tell it today.

At one of the first nationals/internationals, when one team walked into their pit they were greeted by a FIRST representative telling them that FedEx had lost their robot! The team was given two options. Either, not compete or tryto rebuild their robot in one day! Amazingly, a bunch of teams pulled together to help this team. They stayed up all night, and while the new robot was not as good, the team (with the lost robot) was able to compete.

This is what GP means to me. This story has inspired me to try to include GP in my life.
