Cheesecake robot. How far is too far?

The impact of actions such as this shouldn't be solely evaluated based on the team receiving the "cheesecake."

Would you rather I don't inspire that team?

What bothers me about this thread is how far from "gracious professionalism" some writers seem willing to stray in their pursuit of "winning at all costs."

I would rather you consider the totality of the actions, rather than just the impacts on one team. I already posted similar thoughts on this back in April, during the previous round of cheesecake debate.

I never apply 'gracious professionalism' to others. I do apply it to myself and my team.

I believe I have considered the totality of this action.

I have not "cheesecaked" another's robot, nor has my robot ever been "cheesecaked". That being said, if it inspired my (or another's) team then why wouldn't I do so? and why would I be upset if it was used against me?

Remember, FIRSTs mission is to inspire, not to win on the field.

BTW, Sean your link is unreachable.
