Your Team's Core Values

[MysterE]

Hi all -

I've been creating a Wiki for our team and as such have been typing up a lot of stuff over the summer. One of the things that we developed this past year was a set of core values to direct everything that we do. Its a bit deeper than a mission statement but still fairly general.

Does your team have core values? If not, what do you think they would be?

Here are ours:
Family: Our team is more than a collection of students, mentors, teachers, and parents. We are a family. We believe in each other, watch out for each other, and expect each other to succeed. A Panthrobot accepts, respects, loves and most importantly enjoys each other’s company.

Excellence: Every build, every competition, every event, every award; we do each task to our utmost. A Panthrobot is motivated, passionate, and hard-working; never settling for second best.

Outreach: The only way to change a community is to be part of it. Our community is not just our school, our city, or our state. It is every place that our voice, our hands, and our hearts can reach. A Panthrobot consistently looks for ways to interact with our community – both with our excitement about robotics as well as our passion for service.

Fun: We believe that we are our most successful when we are having fun doing what we do. Whether it be cheering at competitions, playing laser-tag during our end of the year party, racing robots with elementary school teachers, or simply enjoying each others company - we want to bring as much excitement and joy to our lives and to the lives of others as we can.
