Why Did You Join Your Robotics Team?
 

Kids in Robotics are labelled as "nerds" and "geeks" and losers and stuff like that. Honestly NO ONE wants to be called that, or even labelled that. I did not even know about the existence of our team since this year (beginning of the school year) after I joined AP Comp Sci. And after I joined, I fell in love, despite the fact that it really is filled with people I would not personally hang out with outside the club, but there are some real cool kids on the team. I joined to get "real life" experience out side my house (Im a programmer) and I can say that I made a great decision. Really people have the stereotype that I am a "Dumb Asian", Im on the Football team, and the Track Team and I'm a gym rat, and I can say that I don't get the best grades, but I am smart, just lazy. People see me and think "Holy Crap hes a big Asian" and don't ever think I program:ahh: They get surprised when I tell them how old I really am and that I program...

It is not that old! Its only a year old, if that. It also has a lot of stories that are fun to read.

If 10 months is old, then I'm ancient!

Wonderful. I wanted to reply to this thread but then I saw that Katie had referred to an older thread that is almost the same so I didn't know which to reply in. I decided to read the old thread where I found a link to a paper with more stories, so I started to read those. The stories in the paper were so iteresting that I read them all and now it is so late I don't have time to reply and still don't know which thread to reply to.

Anyway, if this thread sounds interesting I suggest reading the thread Katie mentioned and the paper.
