I tend to sleep. then sleep some more, actually do my homework, and practice once again for orchestra rehearsal. a lot of the fun is gone, though.

What do u do after the robotics competition is over?You mean there actually is a time of the year when there is no robotics?!? OMG, where have I been? :eek:
All along I've always thought the year was broken down into the build-season, competition-season, post/off-season, and the pre-season. Does this mean there is extra months in the year? Because I can really use some of those... :p
Edit: I think its funny that this is also my 333rd post. :p

lol yeah, I'm in the same boat...raise money/preare for season, then build the robot, after ship (for this year) we need to build a cart :eek: still havent done that :o :o, go to the comp, organize for other in-school presentations, etc. and try to get things ready for next year, where we do it all over again...the only time we get a break is summer vacation really because we can't get into the school, but I work on the website, and other stuff that I can do at home.
Any idea on what to do after graduation?

Any idea on what to do after graduation? Find and get in touch with the team nearest your 2007 season location. If it happens to be your old team, stick with them. If you're going to college far away, find a team there!

Many folks go on to help out teams as a college student. Some stay with their old teams, while others go on to other teams (or start new ones).
Historically, the folks on my team largely shut down for a month or two after Palmetto. (The team, for some reason, gripes about strange things, like "sleep," that I just can't comprehend.) Then, over summer, we'll get the ball rolling again for next season

I will go back to work, been taking anytime I get to help out team this year. I will take my bug out maybe and give it some trender loving care http://www.boingboing.net/images/geek-squad.jpg
LOL.
After robotics... I wonder what that feels like since this is my rookie year and I do robotics in my dreams, too!

I'm not gonna lie, I don't do a whole lot during the off season. Most of the time I spend hanging out with my friends who play M:TG.

I play Playstation (I challenge anyone to try and beat my drag racing GNX in GT4-using RWD and no spray, my current record is 10.312) Pixel Art on my computer (see my avatar) and pretty much just talk to people on AIM oir MSN
Work. Surf the net alot. Wait for off season events.
Hopefully this year I'll start up a Lego LEague team in my church.

I work on average of about 50 hours in the summertime, and about 30 during school. Plus there is also the fact that one of my best friends lives on a lake. And you cant forget for those people that live in the Midwest "Cedar Point" LOL

While still in high school, my post season has been trying to dig myself out of whatever academic hole I've gotten myself into over the last 6 weeks. So more sleep is the least of my worries.

What do I do after the season? Pretty much the same thing I do during the season. With less stress. And fewer deadlines.

I guess after this season I'm going to study more into programming, work in theatre(i might have and internship), and then there's marching band(I'm a nerd(FIRST), a dork(Theatre), and a geek(band). A perfect competition. no, I don't play sports.

Cry? Cause that's what I might end up doing.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't do a whole lot during the off season.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one. We don't do anything in the offseason.

after seasons pretty rough... basically it consists of putting my other life back together...making sure im not doing THAT bad in school..hopefully i can still graduate. andd making sure i didnt completely ruin my non-robotics friends relationships by completely ignoring them for 6 weeks....its usually a pretty rough cycle...
