Our team's version

gra·cious ( P ) Pronunciation Key (grshs)
adj.
Characterized by kindness and warm courtesy.
Characterized by tact and propriety: responded to the insult with gracious humor.
Of a merciful or compassionate nature.
Condescendingly courteous; indulgent.
Characterized by charm or beauty; graceful.
Characterized by elegance and good taste: gracious living.
Archaic. Enjoying favor or grace; acceptable or pleasing.

n.
Professional status, methods, character, or standards.
The use of professional performers, as in athletics or in the arts.

\Pro*fes"sion*al*ism\, n. The following of a profession, sport, etc., as an occupation; -- opposed to amateurism.


n : the expertness characteristic of a professional person


They’ve also coined the phrase “Gracious Professionalism” to teach the students that in the business world there is a required politeness and trust which allows the smooth conduct of business between professionals. The organization requires such concern for others from the design of a robot so that it allows other robots a sporting chance to win, to the safety of each other and controlled exuberance during the heat of the final championship match.
