Re: 2004 CD Spotlight Contest: Best Overall Spotlight
"FIRST is the only sort of competition that I've seen where somebody can win and the opponents can be genuinely happy for them."
If you ask me-thats the best one around. It says everything FIRST stands for and that really shows how much gracious professionalism plays a part in the game. For lack of better words, gracious professionalism has been brainwashed into all the particapants brains, that if your team wins, the 2nd placers will come on over and shake your hands, even if you broke their robot or they broke yours, both sides will be pleasant to each other, and not let bad feelings ruin a teams celebrations.

If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.
Remember: GP is Gracious Professionalism, not Glorifiying Plesantries. Saying something negative does not mean you are evil. It could help someone out a lot.
Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
