Re: Life of a FIRST Robotics Member
The most exciting....that's tough. There's quite a few but here:
Seeing our DriveTeam Coach (a student), also our Control Systems subteam captain, working to fix a team's robot when our team was up to play. The team he was helping was going to play against us that match.
The most annoying, not much annoys me as I see everything as a chance to learn and improve but:
Doing things to help us win an award rather than to just do them because they're the right thing to do. This mentality has rubbed off on our students, and we're trying to change it by saying "You'll win the award, then what, just stop doing things? Give me a better reason".
