Streamlined?!?!?!?! Umm.. hello!! Team Party (sorry, social) and Big video screens??
That is not streamlined by any means.
As for UTC, I think that the teams there, while very good and competitive and nature, take it too far sometimes.
Don't get me wrong, I love most of the teams there... but some others.....
Anyways, this weekend in NYC, my team (from CT) went and had a good time. Just about every team there is wonderful to work with and when we were chosen to be in the finals, and didn't do too hot, the team that chose us actually had this very cool gracious cheer about how it's ok and we'll bounce back or something like that... I forget the exact words, but I was touched that a team woud actually have a cheer about losing.
It just shows you how the FIRST spirit works, and that even when you don't do good you can still celebrate, and even root for some other team(s).
