It's frustrating to know that one's best isn't good enough. Lashing out is the common human thing to do. THAT is what has to change as a culture; FIRST seems to attempt change in this aspect of culture by nurturing failure of the mind in learning environment. Yet this frustration in failure applies to failed relationships, failed projects, failed products, failed companies, and practically everything else; FIRST is no different. It takes maturity to push through the failure, and it takes resilience to be on the receiving end of it. If we call out every knucklehead who bashed some other team publicly or privately, we could be here all day. The important thing is that 1114 has students and mentors who are resilient and (mostly) humble; that is the model we can all emulate.
Keep the message loud and clear; eventually it'll stick.

It's far easier to find ambiguity in the rules than to write them. - MikeE [more]
