This term was coined by Professor Woodie Flowers for the FIRST robotics competition. The definition has never been precisely outlined, but it's connotation is widely understood and may be summarized as this: "Competition for the sake not of destroying one another, but for the sake of bettering and improving both competitors as a result of the competition."
Lending a spare part to an opponent in order to keep them from forfeiting a match is a prime example of gracious professionalism.

Get the Gratis Fugl ja mug.In French au gratin is a cheese-topped dish. If you cook something au gratin, you cover it with sauce, top it with cheese (or sometimes breadcrumbs) and brown it under the grill or in the oven. A huge variety of savoury dishes can be cooked au gratin; the most common are vegetable dishes.
Au Gratin
-Boil or steam vegetables (broccoli is a good choice) until just tender and put in a gratin dish (a low-sided oven-proof dish).
-Make a sauce by blending 1oz (25g) flour with 1oz butter over a low heat, slowly adding half a pint (300 ml) of milk and stirring continuously (increase the heat to thicken) till the sauce is thick and creamy. Add grated cheese, French mustard or whatever flavouring you want, and melt in.
-Pour the sauce over the vegetables, grate over enough strong cheese to cover (Cheddar or Lancashire, for instance) and cook under a grill for 5-10 minutes until golden, or 20 mins in the oven at 200 degrees.
