I totally get this thread. <3

I was a student on 20 during a major transformation in team culture and I was a part of two of 20's most successful seasons ever. I left the team, and came back over winter break and at competitions to help. What I found is I could still help the team during build season with prototyping and design, but students and mentors have filled in my shoes for much of the area I once occupied- and that's a good thing. I still help 20 when I can when I'm around, and I talk to many people who attend meetings on a daily basis about different things on the team.

I compensated for 20 not needing me as much by finding another team to work with as well that's (slightly) closer to me. 5254 needs my help much more because they have so few students, so I help them more often and in a more involved manner than my help with 20.
