Here's my problem: I want to stay involved with the FRC program. I basically fell in love with the strategy side of FRC competition, and I'm really going to miss doing that. I haven't decided if I'm going to mentor with another team for a year, or not, but I'm looking for advice for how I could stay involved with the program if I don't go directly to another team.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! This is something I'm giving a lot of though to.
Thank you!

Become involved with the strategy mentoring aspects of another STEM program.
The REC Foundation runs a college level VRC competition (the VRCC).
Start an FTC or VRC team (with modest goals so that your schoolwork doesn't suffer) near your college campus. Be its primary mentor.
Supply strategy advice to all teams through well-written whitepapers and/or simulation results you post here on CD.
Lots of options - Just pick a winner.
