Re: Should I join robotics again or not?

It sounds to me like the easy and more comfortable thing for you to do would be to just stay involved with the computer club, learning what you can there and helping to arrange things so that the club continues to run well after you graduate. Maybe that is what you should do.

As others have pointed out, it sounds like a big issue with the robotics team involves personalities. (True with most groups, I'm afraid!) Sometimes the hidden purpose for personality clashes is for us to learn how to grow in our interpersonal relationships. Somehow in life, we can not just coast along being the same "good ol' person" we've always been. Whatever difficulties you had with other people on the team, I can guarantee that something similar will crop up elsewhere in your life, whether in your future schooling, career, neighborhood, etc. If you don't learn the needful lessons now, you will have to learn them later.

One thing I didn't see in your post is why you would enjoy being on the robotics team again. You know lots of stuff already; what else might you learn? If the team is not interested in your stated abilities and accomplishments, but wants you to do something else, would you still be happy to join the team? If you can't say why you want to be on the team again, then I would say you probably should not be on it.
