This is my first year on the robotics team and during all those stressful times, I too ask myself why I joined I guess its a little thing called supply and demand...actually there was a demand so I supplied. My team was in desperate need of organizational skills and the head of the robotics team (one of my friends) and the physics teacher knew my uncanny/OCD management skills so they recruited me and I bypassed the application process where 160 people tried out for 30 spots...that was kinda cool. A lot of my friends were also on the team and I thought I would finally find a class where I could learn to tolerate science (not a big science person at all). I also gave my dad that glimmer of hope that I would follow in his footsteps and become an engineer instead of wanting to become a lawyer. I've had so much fun with my team and definately got out more than I what I expected when I chose to join.
