++1 this. Everyone on the team, and particularly the drive team and those working in the pit, should be very familiar with rules. Robot rules, Game rules, Tournament rules. Following rules helps you win and/or be picked; penalties have the opposite effect.

My addition: be Gracious and Professional. To everyone, all the time. There are different measurements of "succeed"; GP will help with all of them.
