I have to ask - Do you have a fun hobby that you do in your spare time?

I'm a rally co-driver:

Gotcha beat there with altitude. :) I did 3K at Mach 0.5. Aerotech I357 in my Darkstar Jr at Freedom Launch with Tripoli South Carolina.

I fly Quadcopters, make videogames, do homework, find, communicate with, get rid of ghosts, make short movies, read, go camping, build stuff out of cardboard, make board games, build with legos, and sleep. somehow, I find time for it all.

I love to do metalsmithing in my free time. And the only power tool I use for it is a hand-drill, so it's all handcrafted. I use this little jeweler's saw to cut out my shapes manually, and files to make 'em all smooth. I've made pendants, circlets, rings, windchimes and wall decorations this way. :)

I also love creative writing. I know, I'm a bit of an oddity for actually enjoying writing despite being an engineering student. :P Haha

Well out of build season I usually work way too much but in my down time I have a hobby for gun collecting, clay shooting, and small target shooting. Other than that I its robotics full tilt even after build/comp season ends; since planning is year round. Its in our blood! :D :D

My hobbies are soon going to include MineCraft's redstone, me, and the internet. Time to learn how to utilize the conductive kool-aid powder.

BTW I've been thinking that a future FRC team should model themselves after Skyrim's Dwemer Race. It would be utterly awesome.

I have spent countless hours on Pokemon, Guild Wars 2, and cannot wait until the thirteenth for Monster Hunter 4. If anyone plays any games and wants to play or talk or anything, lemme know! I've been looking for more people to play stuff with! :D

Life outside of robotics is really busy for me. I am in Girl Scouts and the school's Show Choir. I also like to watch assorted nerd shows/movies (Doctor Who, Torchwood,Star Trek, Supernatural, Harry Potter). I also pin on Pinterest, A LOT. Most of my time is taken up by reading, learning random things like other languages and cooking.

I like to sing in my free time. Its fun to do. I also like to learn songs. So far I know a couple of songs that are really good. I also like to draw and create thing out of things that is no longer being used. I made a robot out of cardboard boxes and i named him Steve. Oh and I want to be a singer when I grow up.:) :) :) :) :)

Once upon a time I was an extremely competitive Irish dancer. It took up like 90% of my time. I joined the robotics team. Now robotics takes up 90% of my time. I feel like I still go to dance sometimes but I honestly can't remember around all the robotics.

I build and sell 3D printer parts, build robots, garden, play airsoft, modify and fix airsoft guns, shoot guns at targets, build modify and use RC airplanes/boats/airboats/cars, build model rockets and their engines, design modify build and fix electrical circuits, program, replace smart phone screens, etc. So basically anything that has to do with technology design aerospace and/or war games. Oh, I also ski and snowboard and know multiple ballroom and Latin dances (Chacha, Tango, Salsa, Rumba, swing, east coast swing, and Waltz). My room is a design laboratory, so my bed is on stilts to accommodate all my tools and storage drawers. I also play an assortment of videogames, but I don't consider that a hobby, I consider it more of an addiction :).

PS, no success yet with the model rocket engines, the rockets just burn up on the launch pad.

Usually I'm breeding competitive Pokemon or Shiny-hunting, or else writing my stupid Japanese comedy bits for future skits.

I live a boring lifestyle.
