The kid didnt put out any team number or anything like that.

But hey kid, yeah, stuff happens all the time. I try and tell my students that this is part of FIRST. You need to be able to overcome these and work together.
Things you learn during FIRST include time management, leadership, etc, but the biggest thing I learned was how to work with students/mentors with differing opinions/attitudes.

It happens on every team that I have started, mentored, or been a student on (I have been student or mentor of 4 Chairman's award winning teams, regional winning teams, etc. so it even happens on those types of teams too). And if it doesnt, I think that the kids are missing out on a possible learned lesson.
This is where a strong leadership group is also able to come in and diffuse the situation.
Good luck, if you need any help, feel free to pm me or maybe leadership.
