Re: At Competition

I don't think anyone in this thread is advocating profanity, and that it should be used in a FIRST competition.

Our team has implemented the "quarter" jar system. If someone on the team lets a curse slip, a slap on the wrist (not literally) and a quarter goes in the jar. Just a friendly reminder that we are trying to be professional.

If you make it such a taboo that if someone says it the whole world collapses, its going to make you very frustrated.

Everyone should do their best to avoid cursing at all costs, especially in front of young PEOPLE who we are trying to set an example for. Honestly though, people let it slip sometimes (I know i've added my fair share to the quarter jar), but making a big deal out of it is not the way to solve the problem.

If you hear someone let one slip, kindly remind them. I cannot see anyone at a FIRST competition becoming heated over someone telling them to stop cursing.
