	TRC is a FIRST organization. This means that the FIRST principles of ''~~Cooperatition~~'' and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl6JkPtDki4 ''Gracious Professionalism''] are core to its being.

For more information on these, visit the [https://www.firstinspires.org/about FIRST website].

	''~~Cooperatition~~'' refers to the fact that while you are competing against other teams with the goal of winning the competition, you're still all members of the FIRST community and are willing to help other teams out when they need it. This means that we do not hesitate to lend parts or tools to other teams that need it (within reason). If a team asks for help or advice, we gladly offer it to them. Just like within our team itself, FIRST succeeds as a community when teams help boost each other up instead of tearing each other down.

Just like within our team itself, FIRST succeeds as a community when teams help boost each other up instead of tearing each other down.

	''Gracious Professionalism'' (GP) is core to how we treat our fellow teammates, members of other teams, referees, judges, and everyone we interact with. We do NOT make derogatory remarks about other teams, nor do we make arrogant ones about ourselves. We are always respectful of those we compete with, and those we compete against. We are not sore losers or arrogant winners. It's also important to note that ''Gracious Professionalism'' is a 2-way street. Often times, we may be tempted to ask for other's help and expect people would grant it in the name of ''Gracious Professionalism''. It's okay to ask for help but ask yourself first if you can find alternatives to do what you want instead of inconvenient other teams. There is always a cost to the teams that lend you help, so be considerate if you can make do with other alternatives. It's also ''Gracious Professionalism'' to minimize unnecessary inconvenience to other teams. It's okay if the other teams said no. Don't hold a grudge against them just because they don't want to help.

	TRC is a place to learn, to find a community, and to build an epic robot. Although TRC is structured around building a robot to take to competition, the most important skills that we learn at TRC are about working as a team. Winning the competition is nice but not our primary goal, and that is reflected in how we treat both our fellow teammates and members of other teams. It is not a place for insults or patronization: it's a place for learning from each other and helping each other to succeed. Our success is measured by how much we learn and how much we grow as a team, not by how many Blue Banners we take home.		TRC is a place to learn, to find a community, and to build an epic robot.
