M. Crowley Milford HS Michigan

1. Band, German, AP US History, Advanced American Lit and Comp, Chemistry 1, Geometry
2. Chemistry, because we move fast, and some of the concepts are hard to understand. English is my easiest, because I love to read and write
3. A 2.00 minimum GPA (out of 4.00). We have to write an admission essay with our application, also.
4. This is my second year on the team
5. 3.0
6. Grand Valley State University or University of Rochester
7. In the fall, I spend 3 or 4 hours per week mentoring a local FLL team. During the fall, I also have marching band (3 days a week, 3 hours each. Friday night football games, and all day on saturdays (which is usually 7 am to about midnight)). In the winter, I have FRC (which is 3 week days, 2 hours each, and an 8 hour meeting). I also have Robofest alongside this, which is for about 4 hours each week, running from the end of december until may. I also volunteer for the public library, but those hours are not very much during the school year, though I volunteer a few days a week in the summer.
8. I volunteer 3 or 4 days a week for the milford library in the summer. I mentor a FLL team in the fall/winter. The HOT team also does road cleanups (2 per year), a river cleanup, parades (4th of july, thanksgiving day parade), freshman orientation (for two highschools), and tries to hit all of the elementary schools in our district for demonstrations. You do the math :D
9. 6 required. about 100 not required (literally)
10. Yes, we do have AP classes

Hope I helped a little bit!

J. Komar, University High School for Science and Engineering and The University of Hartford, Hartford CT

I am currently a Junior in High School and a Junior in College. My major is Computer Engineering. I am 14 years old.

1. I am currently taking Electronic Circuit Analysis II (with lab), Microprocessor Systems, Engineering by Design II, Western Heritage, and Gym.
2. My toughest class (not this semester) probably was Lit (writing). This semester, the toughest class is probably Gym :p. My easiest class (not this semester) was probably Calc IV, and this semester, probably Microprocessor Systems.
3. 50 Build Hours, 70 average failing no subjects, participate in 2 fundraisers and visit 6 buisnesses, raising a total of 300 dollars. We also require 6 hours of team community service (and our school requires 70 hours of individual service over your 4 years.) I have completed about 300 Build Hours, have a 91 average (including college courses), and have done all of the fundraising reqs ($450). I run a non-profit corporation, and have put in thousands of hours over the years.
4. This is my third year.
5. 3.81
6. I am attending the University of Hartford
7. During build, I spend between 13 and 18 hours a day 7 days a week at robotics. Off season, I spend about 10 hours a week doing robotics related activities.
8. I spend every spare minute not doing school work or robotics working on my corporation. This is perhaps between 40 and 70 hours a week on off-season.
9. I am not enrolled in english this year, but have read 6 required books for Western Heritage. I have also read about 15 pleasure books sinse September.
10. We do have AP classes at my High School. I do not take any of them.

Hope this helps!

4. 3 years
5. 4.17
6. Hopefully CalTech, but who knows?
7. 2-4 hours a day, unless it's build season.
8. It depends. Maybe five hours a month or so.
9. Required: 4, Personal: 20+
10. Since the only AP class sophomores can have is AS Chem, I have only one.

Re: Problems in School :(
 
------------------------------------------------

Andrew Blair, Corry Area High School , Corry, PA

1. Block Scheduling: CADII, Advanced Robotics, Honors English, PhysicsII, Concert Band (Physics and Band are a split block I shoved together)

2. Toughest class this semester is probably Honors English. But it's a godsend compared to AP/ChemIII last semester. Easiest class is Advanced Robotics this semester. ChemIII was hard because of the teacher compounding the understanding of the material mostly, along with AP Calc on top of it all. AP Calc was easy, but the workload aggravated my ChemIII class and frustration. Advanced robotics is easy because we just build the robot!

3. 75%, proficiency, as required by sports and all other activities.

4. Since 9th grade, when you can first join. Before that, I was on our FLL team from its pilot. So, 4 years in FLL, approaching 4 years in FRC.

5. ~98.1, 3.92, as I can remember (unweighted).

6. Wish I knew. CMU or RIT perhaps.

7. During build, I spend about 20-30+ hours a week, as well as during soccer season. In the few months not encompassed by sports or FIRST, perhaps 30-50 hours a month.

8. Depending on the time of year, 3-10 hours a month is about usual.

9. Haha, this year? Two books have been required, and apart from that, I've slacked. Honestly, I haven't read a personal book since summer, though I actively read Popsci and National Geographic.

10. AP Calc is the only official AP course we offer. ChemIII offered the AP exam, but the class was not officially designated. We do have many honors and advanced courses however.

Re: Problems in School :(
 
J , Van Oort, Riverside High , Durham, NC

1. This semester: AP BC Calculus, UNC-G "iSchool" US History, AP Physics, Honors Molecular Biology. Last semester: AP Biology II, AP English III, AP AB Calculus, Honors Physics I.
2. Out of the entire year, the toughest is AP Biology, because I hate memorization and am not too good at it. Easiest was definitely Honors Physics, primarily because I was already familiar with a lot of the concepts due to robotics.
3. Similar to sports teams, but I can't remember exactly.
4. This is my third year.
5. 4.613
6. Undecided.
7. The amount of time I spend depends on whether you count researching robot designs in the off season. Regardless of whether we have meetings or not, I tend to average near an hour of that every day. Without that, not a lot, since robotics is my only extra-curricular, so about two hours a weekday during the build season and five-six hours a day on the weekend.
8. Unfortunately, none. I did about about 4 a month last year volunteering at at a local elementary school tutoring in reading , but my transportation fell through.
9. I would say something like 5 for school, and about the same out of school. I used to read a lot more out of school, but now I have a lot of trouble finding books that appeal to me.
10. Yes.

Re: Problems in School :(
 
C. Rizer, Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School; Bridgewater, MA

1. Pre-Calc, Spanish V, English, AP Bio, AP Chem, and Chinese & Chorale (at a local college)
2. Toughest/Best: Definitely AP Chem. It's hard, but a lot of fun. One of our coaches is the teacher. Easiest: Pre-calc.
3. Raising $650, attendance at team meetings, participation in two of the subgroups of our team (Website & Animation, Build, Art, Chairman's, etc.), at least 30 hours of work for the team (20 for rookies), good grades (Cs and up) and a genuine interest in FIRST.
4. 3 years
5. 3.88 (unweighted)
6. I won't know for awhile. I'm hoping for Columbia!
7. A lot! I've never clocked the amount.
8. It depends on what time of year. Usually it's about 3-6 hours per month.
9. 5 required books, I think. If there were more, we didn't go over them! I read 5 personal books as well.
10. Yes, we have'em.

Good luck with your paper! :)

Re: Problems in School :(
 
I'll give you some Canadian results haha

L. Hildred, Trafalgar Castle School, Whitby, ON, Canada

1. Physics, AP Math, Chemistry, English, Accounting, Law, AP Computer Science
2. Toughest would be computer science because basically I don't understand it and computers hate me. Both those things don't work well together. Easiest would be physics cause I actually like and understand what we're doing.
3. You just have to show up to all or most of the meetings.
4. This is my third year.
5. Canadian to American conversion I'm a 3.9. My average is 86.6% though
6. University of Western Ontario
7. I'm usually busy with something directly after school ever night along with robotics. Going by that it's 6 hours a night, plus 12 hours on the weekend for robotics (24 hours on the last weekend before ship).
8. I usually do a couple hours every month. Right now I'm sitting at about 70 hours in the past 2 years.
9. Required I've read about 3 book. Personal I haven't read any - unless you count magazines.
10. Yes but only AP math, english, and computer science are offered in grade 11. Only a couple more than that are offered in grade 12.

Hope that helps!!

2. Toughest - English, reason I am a math science guy, and anything English doesn't come naturally to me. Easiest class-Calculus, all math is just easy for me.
3. None, other then schoolwork comes before robotics... we never want to exclude anyone or make it feel like it is academic only.
4. 4 years.
5. I have a 92% average and a 3.7 GPA
6. University of Waterloo
7. About 5-7 hours a day

J. Smith; Willow Run High School; Ypsilanti, MI

1. What classes are you currently taking

Two independent studies: Geometry and Advanced Physics (though I intended to go into AP matter, the hour became more of a tinkering phase, exploration/experimentation sort of deal, a lot of fun)
AP Literature
Art
Spanish
Newspaper Publications
Calculus 2 via Dual Enrollment

2. What is your toughest class? Easiest class? What makes them so?

Leaving out the independent studies, AP Literature and Calc 2 are the hardest, Spanish is pretty simple.

3. What are the requirements to be on the robotics team in your
school?

I couldn't tell you, but we try and keep people at ~2.5 GPA, and make sure they are doing something on the team, otherwise, we kick them out.

This is my 4th official year.

5. What is your GPA?

4.0

6. What college do you plan on attending?

Lawrence Technological University

curricular activities including the robotics team?

I have never kept track. Any given day it could be 1-3 hours on average. At least ten a week. 40 a month, etc, but its not that much, these are just estimates.

8. How much time do you spend a day? week? month? doing community
service?

Community service I do in the fall, and it is at least 20 hours. For the past 2 years, I have been doing at least 30 per year with FLL mentoring and either board representative or NHS work.

9. How many required books have you read so far this year? How
many personal books have you read?

At least 5 books and several long classical poems. Personal books I barely read, but that is not to say I do not read period. I read the Detroit Free Press daily, read the RSS feeds from MSNBC and ArsTechnica, plus read Maximum PC and PC World whenever I get around to it.

2. Toughest is a toss-up between Calc and CS, easiest is US History. Those are the hardest becuse they require more learning of new ideas than the rest of my classes, combined with a heavy work load.
3. Wanting to be on the team :) Apart of that, maintaining above a 2.5, and not being destructive to the team.
4. Since my freshman year.
5. Around 3.7 cummulative so far.
6. I don't know :) Hopefully Olin :P
7. Over an hour a day, so probably over 5 a week, and over 20 a month.
8. About 1-2 hours a week.
9. 5 required books, and about 5 more on my own.
10. Yes, and I took one last year and taking three more this year.

Hope this helps.

G. Cox, 11th grade, Eisenhower High School/UCMST, Shelby Twp Michigan

1. What classes are you currently taking
- AP Gov't/Economics, AC English, Web Page Dev I, Pre-Calc, Physics, AP Java [the last three are at this special accelerated program, MST, with "high rigor" courses and such.. think of them as basically all AP-level or higher]

2. What is your toughest class? Easiest class? What makes them so?
- toughest would probably be English; we have at least 100 pages of novel reading a week, along with a tonn of in class essays (not to mention the teacher is insane.. he thinks that because we're in AC, we devote our lives to literature and writing). Easiest would be Web Page or Java; I've always just been good with computers and that type of thing.. Web Page Dev = browse CD and other forums :)

3. What are the requirements to be on the robotics team in your
school?
- Must raise $1000 in fundraising before the start of the team, must get weekly grade reports to make sure that your grades aren't slipping. There's no set GPA, they just can't fall significantly from where you started. Also, everyone must contribute 10 hours a week to the team (whether it's doing PR/articles, mechanical, animation, etc.. most people have no problem hitting this, unless something major comes up). There are a bunch of little things like contributing to articles, but those are the three major ones.

4. How long have you been on the team?
- This is my rookie year

5. What is your GPA?
- 3.75 give or take, depending on the day. I have a 3.9 if you don't count my english class. If our school used weighted grades, I would probably have a 4+

6. What college do you plan on attending?
- Probably somewhere like Kettering, Michigan Tech, or Lawrence Tech. One of those types.

7. How much time do you spend a day? week? month? involved in extra-
curricular activities including the robotics team?
- haha, including robotics, 15-20+ hours a week depending on the week.

8. How much time do you speand a day? week? month? doing community
service?
- uhh... a couple hours a month?

9. How many required books have you read so far this year? How
many personal books have you read?
- Required.. 6 or 7. Personal, 2 or so. It would be more, but almost all of my reading efforts are put into trying to pass english.

10. Do you have an AP classes in your school?
mmmhm, I've basically taken every one available to me.
