I agree on some parts not all though. Me being on a rookie team found that there was aurguments once and a while but we are new and working out how our team is set-up. I being with FIRST for 6 years have heard "Gracious Professionalism" spoke of quite often.

I always here about teams not doing what they should and being to competitive. Some teams have strick guide lines and most of the team is in the captain's, teachers, and engineers.

What I think needs to happen with the teams is they need to get the students to do more building. I know of some teams that there students only do the minimum and the engineers do most of the work. This causes a pattern in how the team functions. First students start to find a topic to dissguss and every meeting the talk about this instead of the robot. Then the students stop watching the engineers and loss track of whats going on with the robot. Later in the building when the students are needed all hell brakes loose on them because there clueless.

I wish I had more facts on what happened with this one team this person was with, but the only thing you can do is advise them, like you are doing now, of what they are doing and then go back to your team and perfect your team organization some more.

I think "Gracious Professionalism" is the ability to work with others in a logical way that benifits the your team, other teams, your community, and FIRST. Any other activitys that are being talked about is not relevant. This team needs one leader that will organize the team which I find is ussually a student or teacher.
