[the programmer]

With my team's competition season over, I'm very split about what my involvement in FIRST should be next year. I was involved as a student on my high school team for 6 years, four years as a programmer and two years as project manager. I've already made the decision that I will stay involved with this team through the summer but stop this involvement when the new school year begins.

I'll be commuting to a school about 30 minutes from home and there are a number of teams in my area that I could see mentoring. However, I'm worried that as a college freshman, my work load would be too much to actively mentor an FRC team while still maintaining some set semblance of a life. I'm wondering what experience and advice others have with this.
