Stage lighting and FLL team mentoring. I also program in my spare time if that counts as outside robotics.

I road bike race, cyclocross race, mountain bike, rock climb, ice climb, and ski. Fun times in Colorado.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

Well, graduated and occasionally mentor my former team as well as my cousin's team.
Went to college, and subsequently got into Magic: The Gathering. Guess it's from one all consuming hobby to another.
Also, somehow, I keep finding myself back on CD reading threads about games that I didn't actually play.

Work.

Between work and robotics, I don't have a lot of free time. I'd like to get back flying R/C aircraft, but there's something about lack of available daylight hours around here...

And I work some tech stuff at church once a week.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

I do any type of skiing I can manage: cross-country, alpine, and water, depending on the season.

I race auto-x with my wife in my 21-color turbo'd Miata. She will typically drive her MK2 MR2. Related to this is maintaining and occasionally modifying cars, either my own or helping friends.

I race in the 24 Hours of Lemons with a team, Mod Squad, that specializes in MR-2s. Our latest car is a VW Vanagon body on a Mk3 MR2: http://blog.caranddriver.com/lemons-...-evil-vanagon/

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

Other stuff I do:

I'm the Program Director and a DJ at WRPI, the RPI college radio station. I play mostly indie rock and hip-hop.
Full time Mech. Eng. student, obviously.
I'm on a manufacturing process design team as part of a class at RPI that hopes to compete nationally at the end of the year.
In the 30 seconds a week that I get to breathe, I enjoy the latest Nintendo games as well as the tabletop deck-building game Dominion.

It's important to have a balanced, well-rounded life outside of robotics, especially if you're doing this stuff in college. A healthy balance is important. It's tempting to go all in on robotics as it feels so meaningful and purposeful, but don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I play alot of video games such as Skyrim, Minecraft, The Binding of Isaac:Rebirth, Bastion and TF2, listen to music and fiddle around with an old set of bagpipes.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

Besides robotics and ChiefDelphi, eh...well:

- I've been playing soccer for most of my life. I play basketball for fun, but I'm really horrible at shooting so...yeah.
- I play the violin in my orchestra.
- I play quite a bit of League of Legends...
- I browse social media extremely frequently. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, those three mainly.
- I've slowly been learning video editing! (Let's be honest though, half the reason for that is to make a cool reveal and season wrap video next year for robotics.)
- I'm also an Eagle Scout, so I've been involved with scouting for a while.
- Listen to a lot of music.

I'm very grateful for my senior year, I only have like 4 legitimate classes so I've had a bit more time to focus on all this other stuff as well as robotics more.

There is Fantasy First, you could probably make/join a team there, though I'm not entirely sure how it works.
