Re: The subtle disadvantages of being a FIRST Alumni

Come back once you've:

Built a college radio station from the ground up
Saved a robotics team from collapsing
Mentored a robotics team that became world champs
DJed multiple semiformals, campus events, and robotics competitions
Established a FRC Kickoff at your college
Built a FRC field for Kickoff, paving the way for them to build a community Robotics Center
Served on an offseason competition planning committee
Done 4 years of co-op including a thesis
Joined Greek Life

I was once a cocky freshman too, and it took the whole 4 years and then some to realize my limitations. If college isn't challenging enough for you, you're doing it wrong. You want a real challenge - do a suicide double-major, like Mechanical / Electric. Or just coast & see how little the "real" world is impressed by your coasting through college.
