consider team conduct and ethics when determining awards.

make the decisions and do the work
with adult mentorship. The VEX community prides itself on being a positive learning environment
where no one is bullied, harassed, berated or places unnecessary stress upon students and/or

positive behaviors and good sportsmanship.
