Gracious Professionalism
Gracious Professionalism is not an explicit core value like the ones above, but is the tenant of FIRST'' and its core values. However, it isn't easily defined and means something different to every individual and team. In general, Gracious Professionalism is about respect for others and sportsmanship during competition.
Coopertition
Coopertition = Cooperation + Competition. Coopertition is another implicit core value. It is about making sure all teams are competing at their best. That means that if a team needs help, other teams will help them to make sure they can do their best at the competition.
