Unhappy What ever happened to gracious professionalism?

Hi all,
After taking a day or two to recover from what I thought was one of the best sets of elimination matches in the history of FIRST, I was absolutely shocked to come on here and see everyone bad mouthing and bashing other teams. If I remember correctly, these boards are not meant for bragging or bashing. Fact of the matter is, if you go out and you start talking up your robot, or talking down another robot, you are gonna be a target, and you will be lucky to even make it to the elimination rounds (I've seen it happen).

Be careful what you say on here, it can really reflect how other teams see you.

In closing, I just want to say great job to all the teams at the NE Regional, if the competition is any indicator of whats gonna happen in the nationals, the northeast is going to be well represented. I wish I could be there to witness it.

Have fun,
Andy Grady

p.s. How bout that New Haven Colliseum!!!!! Finally the NE Regional didn't strain my eyes!!!

wow

I feel totally bad that Team 238 wasn't even in that very first list of robots...they are a good team....I feel bad for them, cause this year no one feels like cheering them on....and the only people that cheer are the drivers, and well...they are driving...so they can't cheer in the stands....everyone is really being poopy....

I wish i was still on the team to cheer people on!! Go Team 238, I love you guys...GOOD LUCK AT NATIONALS....

Not to throw a wrench into the workings of inter-team interaction, but an interesting what if...

In team 38's quarterfinal 3 match, we were 1 and 1 against the 173 alliance, and had a fighting chance of taking the 3rd match, had team 96's robot not blown it's breaker. With about 30 seconds left on the clock, both 96 and 38's robots were powering the goals cross field into our goal zone when 96 died. The result: 2 robots against one dramatically overpowering and taking the goals back to their zone. The question: how would all this discussion be affected had 38 beaten 173 in that final match?

I seem to like pitching in 2 cents, but like interesting discussion as well.

P.S. Props to 716, Housatonic, I was right on the sideline in their semi-final matches against 173, they really knew what they were doing, until 173's ball pickup smashed their tether thing, and exploded their signal light. great job guys, on both sides, it was definitely one of the best matches i've ever seen in FIRST.
