I'm an alumni that can run and coordinate a district event when I'm at college but when I travel home I can only run safety glasses.

I'm a graduate from a FRC team in Minnesota who has volunteered as field reset for four years after graduating but still isn't given any other field position no matter how many times I ask.

I'm a volunteer who registered to help queue but I'm told there are not any positions available, followed by an email to coaches the next day requesting more queuers to volunteer.

I am a volunteer how has been a robot inspector since graduating high school 6 years ago. In Minnesota I have expressed interest in FTAing, CSAing and score keeping but have never been assigned. I then am offered spots as a FTA or CSA in other areas around the United States.

As a student, I was spoken to about my social media posts, as they were showing MN FIRST in a bad light and told to delete what I posted. Now I've only been offered spots as Field Reset.

This is a small sampling of volunteer stories from the Minnesota Regionals.

Looks like this person was a robot inspector for many years in the past (bold), wants to be a queuer or something else if they can't be an RI (underlined), but has grown weary of the scenario they have to deal with in terms of the what the RPC in Minnesota "operates" (under the guidance of HQ as they are not an independent NPC).

I don't operate anywhere close to Minnesota and I will not speculate what may or may not be happening but if it looks like x and smells like x, I don't want to see if it tastes like x.
