Intentionally Losing Matches

[zuckie13]

HOW CAN YOU EVEN PROPOSE AN IDEA LIKE THIS?

Winning has never been the primary goal of FIRST. NEVER.
First is about getting students interested in science and engineering, and teaching them the life skills, technical and otherwise, that will help them go far.

From the first site, GP is defined as "Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST. It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community."

I cannot stand seeing a team or individual take a "win at any cost" stance at a FIRST event. It makes me sick.

Un-GP by a light-year!
