Re: School and Robotics.....

Granted, grades are important, but in the long run, the expirence you gain in robotics outweights anything you are taught in a class room with dusty textbooks and chalk.

Sure, my grades have a dip in them since 2nd semester, right after midterms, start of build season. But then again, its understandable. Instead of me giving 110% towards school, im giving it 70, and robotics 40. Most teachers understand. Its the same with science olympiad and such.

Keep your priorities straight, your grades at a level you are proud of, and have fun.
