Well there's your mistake right there man. You should be extremely excited about the competition and not about just missing school. It should be an exhilarating experience to see something do exactly what you designed it to do all along. If the outcome doesn't turn out that way, you work your butt off to fix it and not accept anything else.

Don't go to a FIRST competition just to miss school dude. You have to be excited about it because if not, then why are you doing it in the first place. What are you gaining from it?

If you haven't already, rethink about what FIRST is and you'll get a better understanding of why being excited about the competition is so important.

"While I was a student in FIRST, it was all about becoming inspired. Now as a mentor/engineering student, it's all about making sure learn everything I can so I can carry that on inspiration for future generations while having a hell of a lot of fun!"
