What makes a Team a full "FIRST Team"?

So as you probably know, there are some teams at competition that built a robot, come to competition so their robot can compete, but don't fully embrace the FIRST ideals throughout the culture of their team.

some examples of these practices might be

-not fully embracing the ideals of coopratition, and gracious professionalism
-not supporting other FIRST or STEM activities to the best of their ability
-not attempting to earn any non robot related awards
-leaving before awards ceremonies (personal pet peeve of mine)

I am not trying to discredit any other teams or their practices, and I understand some teams have limited resources, and are unable to do certain things due to lack of funding, mentors, reliable meeting space, or members.

I would like to point out that teams tat exhibit these practices are within the minority, and based on my experience with other teams at the competition, most have a positive attitude, and continue to exceed my expectations of what a FIRST team can be.

However I want to know what the CD community thought as to
"What makes a Team a true FIRST Team?"

(This post in no way represents the views or opinion of team 2537 as a whole. It is solely the opinion of one of it's members)
