I think Andy G is like many of us who stick around all year (reading the forums) you can not do just"a little" FIRST, it is all or nothing. I am at a point in growing up, where I do not have lots of other responsibilities. But, the college kids at school, the parents of young kids (Andy B), and the high school seniors who are also trying to work and save money for college all have to perform a delicate balancing act.
The good thing is, we know that they are still nearby. The friendships developed in FIRST will last far longer than any 2 minute match. I really do not think that Dean envisioned these friendships when he thought this all up 10 years ago, but they are really the root of the whole FIRST movement.
