I mean, the guy has two national championships under his belt, he was the box man before that, and had driven well over a hundred matches. And his face was just sad, like something for him had just ended. While you may go on in FIRST, you can never drive again- and that glory is just kind of stripped from you.

As a driver, I can fully back that up. The first competition you attend after you are retired is completely different. I was never so depressed before. I drove for three games(Ramp Riot, Zone Zeal, and Stack Attack).. and the most difficult part was giving it up.... not losing an amazing match.. but not doing it at all anymore.
