Behavior at the competitions

Firstly, I'm 17, and a leader on my team.

Secondly, if I saw anyone (including other leaders) ever representing my team in that way at an event, I would swiftly whack them upside the head. I've done it before, too.

For some reason, my generation enjoys testing boundaries. I, personally, find that disrespectful.

We honestly require that no one use their phones in the pits, and if they need to use it, they walk outside the arena. I told a kid to do this in Utah, it was snowing outside. He waited to make the call

The parenting bit isn't necessarily true, as I've met completely ill-behaved students whose parents (and their tactics) are very similar to that of mine. I've been told by my parents that i've been the easiest kid to raise...i'm one of 3. I don't know how much that really matters, but it's very much about the mentality of the student.

You have not only joined a robotic competition, you will discover that you are becoming a member of a very large and wonderful family. The more years that you participate, the larger your FIRST family will become. - Car Nack

I just saw that on the top of the page. It's true, we're a humongous family. If my sibling was doing that? A swift handling of the situation (physical or not ). Honestly, I think of the situation like this: No talking during grace. It's something which may not be riveting, but is still very important, and tradition.
