Re: Convincing athlete to commit to robotics?

Perhaps there's a way for you to shift your meeting times such that basketball and FRC don't interfere. Having meetings after homework, sports, dinner, etc. was advantageous in my case.

I agree with Ed Law's points as well; remember that FIRST is foremost about inspiration. A few years down the road, the quality of your senior year robot will be far from your mind and your friend shouldn't be basing his decision around this aspect of your team's success.
