It depends on how you and your body handle stress, what's going on in your school life, your family life, etc.

I do have IBS, began the beginning of my senior year, before robotics season started. I have to devote time to staying healthy now, a little more than most people. I need at least 8 hrs of sleep per night or else I get sick, I need to watch what I eat, I need to spend some time just relaxing or else things catch up with me and I get sick.

Bottom line, listen to you body (in my case literally my gut). I don't think robotics is necessarily bad for your health, but things that are good for you in moderation can be bad for you in excess, it just depends on where your specific moderation and excess limits are.
