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.
I think he no longer feels this way, I believe he simply meant last year he didn't 'get it' and now he does, and that is why he is so nervous.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
