There is only one thing to do when the electronics season runs dry! DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION! All day, every day. I'm wearing my DDR shirt to nationals: come up and give me a hug if you can't dance without arrows.

Besides that, a lot of stuff. NYC with the band the weekend after, Nashville for a retreat, then home for a while. Can't do IRI cause of camp, but soon I'll be on the roads! Bwwahahah!

Umm...die? From boredom, that is. Well, I think I'll take all of the hundreds of hours of work I could be putting into a robot and build other things, like finish my pond, get a job, do a engineering mentorship at Drexel (if I get in that is), that kinda thing. Maybe just build my own movable things...I could so do that. I just start talking about set screws one day and how they're so annoying...and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. They of course aren't into robotics, so they have no clue what one is...

Re: What are you going to do after Nationals?
 

Well as annyoing as set screws are, The best thing to do is a prototype / experiment for next year, and dont forget the off sesaon competitions if you dont have any in your area you should really look into getting some started.

Just as Jessica had said before New England is full of them Theres the Beantown Blitz and not to plug it or anything The Bash at the beach put on by (236 & 521) and many more. Heh FIRST NEVER ENDS its great, and plus you can still waste 98.6 % of your life on chief delphi anyway, on or off season there are too many addicted hah !!!

Probably just sit around and mop till summer is in. Then I go to china to go visit my relatives. All of them are in china. I still have to get my driver's lisence. And most of my time I'll probably spend here. Whatever it takes to make it to next year. Oh yes sleep is good. Have fun everyone.

Those activities all sound a lot more interesting than what I had planned...Work work work... bleh. But I'll have UberBling next season so I can buy pizza when I'm hungry...maybe even save some for the team this time. :yikes:

Re: What are you going to do after Nationals?
 

Team 836 takes a break during the summer, with robotics anyway. And we resume when school starts with leadership training and skills training to help the vetrens remember how to do things and to teach newbies about each sub team. But when the season ends we break down the past season, make room in the shop for next year and evaluate what we need to do in order to be succesful.

Re: What are you going to do after Nationals?
 

Right now were just getting some fundraisers set up and getting the robot ready for offseason comps (plural? in FL hint-hint). When school starts again in August were going to start working on various projects (battery cart like Team 571's, etc.)

Personally I'm going to be working (gotta have the bling-bling lol) and doing someothers projects (potato launchers, flugtag desin, etc.)

Re: What are you going to do after Nationals?
 

The spring off-season is awesome. I mean, there are tons of events to compete in and there are numerous team events that are hosted, so one can go and hang with other FIRST people. :)
I live in New Jersey, so I am not really sure of how it is elsewhere, but here it is really fun!
