Re: New to robotics...feel lost, useless, and robotics career question

I had the same sort of useless feeling the first few days on the team, but here's the thing, especially if you are on an inexperienced thing - find someone no one else wants to do. I wound up reading the rules at home one night, and overnight became the recognised 'rules guy'. Its odd how many times people need information, and its great to be the one that has the answer, like the earlier battery man example. Keeping up on things here on CD is another job you might take up... I'm kinda describing my own job, I think. What I'm trying to say is that there are a lot of opportunities, techinical and not, when you're doing something as complicated as this competition.
