Re: Question
Adam,
Gracious Professionalism is easy to talk about and difficult to explain. You want to win the game! If you are playing the game buy the rules without looking for some way to stretch a rule beyond common sense, you are practicing GP. If you play each match as hard as you can without attempting to harm another robot, you are practicing GP. If you do damage an opponents robot in a match, doing everything you can to help repair the damage is practicing GP. Lending tools and parts is practicing GP. Congratulating your opponent (win or lose), is practicing GP. You are joining the greatest family in the world, FIRST, because we all strive to practice GP. Ken Loyd Team 64 |

Re: Question
"Taking" balls is definately ok --- thats what makes the game fun to watch!
Examples of what would NOT be ok: Creating a bot to block the view of another team's driver; Intenionally dropping stuff (or your bot!) from the hanging bar onto another robot; creating a device to cause IR interference; laying down a spike strip to damage other robots' wheels. |

Re: Question
oh man i can think of alot more things that wouldnt be GP... attaching a spear to the front of ur bot to "catch goals" (sounds familiar..hmmm..*thinks back to 2 years ago*), driving headfirst into a rookie bot made out of aluminum with ur 100 pound solid wood base and pushing them into a wall, bending them into a crumpled mess, or creating a rail gun using a 1000 farad capacitor to zap other teams off the bar.

Anyways, lets not get into what is gracious and not, the thread is about whether or not it is acceptable to go onto the other side. Perhaps this thread should be locked, since multiple answers have been posted? Cory |

Re: Question
building a wedge that is designed to intentionally flip over other bots is definitely not Gracious Professionalism.

Re: Question
Ack! I didn't mean to turn this thread into a gigantic list of what isn't GP. I was just trying to give some extreme examples to make the point.
