What is GP to YOU?

[RKElectricalman]

To me, GP is working towards the benefit of a collective community, knowing you may be helping your future oponent. It could be helping them fix/build their robot on any day of the competition, entering into a mutually beneficial relationship, entering into a purely altruistic relationship, writing a white paper, sharing your code, or even sharing your ideas.

I agree that GP is something that you should strive towards, but not neccesarily a requirement. If the spirit of GP and the seed of inspiration can be instilled into the majority of FIRSTers our future will surely be brighter.

Cooperitition was based off of that premise that oponents can work together to achieve a common goal, which to me is the definition of GP.

Plain and simple: Un-GP isn't a real thing, unless it means "not in the spirit of GP" which as I've mentioned, shouldn't be pushed on everyone.
