What FIRST Is About

[SlaminSwimster]

I have been following the “Another Culture Change” thread this week and have been saddened by the behaviors 1114 and other teams have faced recently as well as by some of the actions I saw this past weekend in competition. However, I know that though negative behaviors have occurred this season, there must be many many more instances of extremely positive actions and experiences. If you have experienced something this season that you feel shows what FIRST is really about, I would love to hear about it.

I’ll start it off:
At this Pittsburgh Regional, I was cheering like crazy and suddenly realized I wasn’t cheering because we’d won, but because my team’s (MARS 2614) alliance had just been eliminated by an alliance made up of 1114, 1503, 3492- the team MARS helped to start this season.
