It's too bad that what you see as negatives, are what FIRST celebrates and encourages. I'm not saying you need to change your ways, but perhaps take some time to think about the model presented by Team 1523.

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" -- R.W. Emerson
