Like most of you, I have been watching this thread closely, as my addiction to this program has affected my personal life.

1998, Ladder Logic, Rutgers "regional", with my newly formed Team 195, I began to cry seeing three of my passions, engineering, education, and sports, altogether under one roof. I was hooked.

Back in the day, we put the Robot in a crate, and it was laded in between competitions, at great expense.

To reduce monetary costs, the program has evolved to "bag and tag", with multiple regionals and "withholding allowances". This is bad for an addict.

Three teams later, I have to keep reminding myself: "It's not about the Robot".
