For the High School Kids/ Parents/Mentors/ Enigineers: How do you prepare for the upcoming season? What do you do to get through the days when you don't have a competition or construction to look forward to?

I joined the team that already existed at my college (190), and last week a guy came to the meeting and took names down for people interested in the DARPA Grand Challenge, and honestly, if you ask me, that's a heck of a lot cooler than FIRST (not to mention a heck of a lot harder). Of course, FIRST is something that you simply cannot replace, so no matter what, I'll always be on a team or volunteer at a local regional, or both, unless I'm off doing my IQP or MQP (usually go to a foreign country for two months or so).
