Re: School and Robotics.....

its a bit different when you get to college, My major is electronics technology, but I'm focusing on robotics. Its alot of fun to go help out my team since i get to apply what i learn, and vice versa i learn stuff i apply in the classroom. Alot of times you will find that you just wont get a concept until you apply it or see it in person. Its pretty interesting to see how a paper analysis of a circuit changes when you measure that circuit on a breadboard.

Now a word of wisdom from a college student to you high schoolers: Dont skimp on any of your classes. Sure, a C may pass you in a high school math class, But you will be kicking yourself in college for not learning the basics in high school, you save ALOT Of time by doing well in high school!
