Here's my experience through the whole thing...

Whenever I got into robotics season, my grades almost ALWAYS fell. I don't blame robotics for it, because it is my own stupidity that causes it. I seem to neglect doing homework the later and later I stay out at night...and especially when there's the choice of chatting with fellow FIRST-ers during season and posting on THIS forum matched up with doing some homework...it's only "practical" for me to choose the fun stuff.

I don't regret my grade point dropping because of it (actually it sounds like a big deal, but I only really dropped like 0.1), though a higher grade point COULDN'T have hurt. Anyway, it's just where sacrifices go... I mean, I'm sure there are those who can fully commit to this project AND still maintain a high grade point... but not everyone "chooses" that path.

Just my personal thoughts...

Chris
