Re: Stress, burnout, and stepping back
I'm taking a year off FRC because I noticed that I haven't gotten any new products out the door in my home business since I started mentoring FRC four years ago.

I'm still mentoring our little Vex team on Saturdays only, so I have some involvement, but not the huge time commitment of the FRC build season. I've already made significant progress on shipping a new product!

The other mentors have stepped up, the team has a lot of seniors and a batch of new students, and things are going very well so far. I do plan to drop in on the team now and then during the build season to see how they're doing.

I'll be at a Vex competition during kickoff. That will be strange.
