Re: Why do we do this anyway?

My mum always had denied me Lego League, and no matter how much I wanted to play, she said no.

So in high school, she said I could join anything I wanted.

The 'FIRST' thing I found was robotics.

A few of my friends were joining the team, and I figured I had nothing to lose.

.. Yet again, guess who was wrong?

That year, between homework, building a robot, Getting chased by 2 colour tracking robots, discovering Lime green and maroon are BAD colours to wear next to Lunacy targets, I fell in love with this program.

I made so many new friends, met people from across the state [and Canada, we didn't go to nationals] that I am now a 3 year Vet on my school's 3 teams [The RoboDawGs] and I know I still have much to learn. But time's a wasting! I have practice in a half hour! I must be off!
