Funny enough, that's exactly what I've been doing. I started volunteering this past year with FTC and, time permitting, plan to do the same this year. The key thing being that "time permitting"-- as a student I don't know my schedule for FRC's season until at the earliest November, and at the latest January, after trying to switch things around to make volunteering a possibility. I have a great deal of love for FRC, and last year I did a great deal of work to make it possible for me to volunteer at two regionals and Championships, plus an FTC Super Regional, but as I'm pretty sure anyone who volunteers at events knows, sometimes it simply isn't possible for it to work, and that's even more of an issue for college students who are passionate about the program and want to stay involved.
