Still there

GP is still in tact.

As we were elbow deep in our robot during every hour of Friday and Saturday in Pittsburgh, not 1 hour went by when there was a team who would come by and ask if they could help.

Almost all of the time, we would say "thanks, but no". Sometimes we would say "no, but wish us luck"... toward the end of the competition, I would just say "pray for us". heh. The help came when we would scramble for a part of a tool that we did not have... and so many people and teams would offer.

To all of the teams who offered this help, thank you. To all of the teams in Pittsburgh who were left high and dry during a Q match with us without a robot on the carpet, thank you for understanding. No one gave us crap about that and we appreciate it.

Sure there are a few well-publicized examples which are void of GP. These few are overshadowed by the vast majority of good people doing good things in FIRST. Don't dwell on the bad vibes, people... let's celebrate the good.

Let's give examples of good GP... another thread should be started.

Andy B.
