We'll probably be regarded as odd, but we're a rookie and didn't have one single argument. It was probably one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had.
One of the stragnest phenomenon I've seen though is when a team bickers amongest itself, argues continually over how to fix a problem, and never gets anything accomplished, but can be so nice, gentiel, and "perfect" looking to another team. I know a few times I would walk by a team's pit and the engineers/mentors would be yelling at a student, but later on you could come up and ask for a part or about a problem and that same person would be more than glad to help you out. I'm sure this was relevant to the situation they were in at that time, but still I don't think losing your temper is a very good way to promote professionalism within your team.
Changing the world starts with changing yourself. So, if you feel you personally don't express professionalism, try to change that before you criticize or try to point it out to others. By this, I don't mean that someone who has posted here doesn't express professtionalism, or that I am the epitome of professionalism (because anyone who knows me knows I'm not...); I am merely saying let's make sure that we project the same image we're trying to impose.
