Re: College FIRSTers: What was your transitional year?
After four years of intensive work on a robotics team, I wanted to keep going. However because I am not allowed to join my own team which is the closest one within 50 miles of my college. I will not be able to join a team until next year.
I really hated the idea of not being in FIRST. I actually went through a lot of panic of what I am going to do with all of my time. However once the build started, it became a lot easier to accept that I would not be joining a team and that the 2005 FIRST season would not fully involve me. There are a lot of times where I miss being on a team, however it is quite nice to have the free time and focus on college.
I still go back occasionally to check out how my old team is doing, however when I go back I lose interest quite quickly since I am not able to get involved.
I still plan on going to a regional or two and possibly nationals and I look forward to possibly joining a team next year. But as for now it is almost nice to have a break.
