There were no fights and no violence. as stated above a team did walk on the field and sat on the bumps as a protest of what they deemed unfair behavior on the side of FIRST.
While this behavior is by no means acceptable, it is a far cry from being violent.

Remember, what you do reflects the image of every other FIRST team.

Again, agreed. Though I'd like to point again that this was a tiny minority and that the vast majority of teams displayed exemplary coolheadedness (is that a word?

) throughout a very stressful and disappointing regional event.
