GPA core FIRST value: competing hard while treating everyone with respect, kindness, and integrity.
where you actually meet GP
GP is not a poster. It is what happens at four o'clock on Saturday when the alliance that just knocked you out asks to borrow your spare motor controller and you hand it over. Judges watch for it in the pit, referees notice it at the field, and it is the difference between a team other teams want to pick and one they quietly avoid.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
