Yup.. this thread is for me too. I love robots, I love FIRST... but engineering??.. No. I can already tell that's just not something I want to be doing 10 years down the road. That's probably why I do graphics/animation/scouting on the team... and I enjoy it. I could have chosen that road of working on electronics or drive train my freshman year, but I went where my true interests lie. You just gotta go with what you feel because you don't want to end up 1/2 through college only to discover your true interests lie in a field totally different than your major
Now, it does seem like that the non-engineer-bound people do get the shaft sometimes... but I guess that's more of a team issue.
So... at the moment I'm browsing colleges, finding out if they offer any computer graphics majors... and just doing what I wanna do. I know the world needs more engineers, but FIRST isn't all about engineers and robots... that's why it's so great.
To all those who are not interested in an engineering field - do not be ashamed, there are many
