Re: Team Update #18

[EDIT] Originally referenced a post later removed by author later, so I wont quote that, but I still think a post about attitude is generally relevant, so I will leave the rest even though it is now somewhat out of context.

I understand the frustration of losing a match because of something that you think is out of your control. Back when I was driving in HS, I felt the same way. As a volunteer, I can tell you it gets pretty old pretty fast to have teams getting in your face and giving you an attitude about these types of issues. I know it sucks to lose matches, but please remember the greater purpose we are here for and how negative attitudes affect that.

So even if you can prove that something unfair happened, please lets all keep a calm and professional composure and remember our true greater purpose here. Let's debate issues, but in a civil and professional manner. I am not saying that this conversation has turned into this, but what type of example is being set for the students if after a match the minibot doesn't trigger and you start complaining about FIRST and the field staff to your students.
