Re: afterthoughts from a rookie

Where do I begin with my experience this year...

Being part of my teams has been one of the craziest and hardworking moments of my life. I have become much more involved in FIRST this year than pretty much anything else ever.

Even being at an offseason event as a pre-rookie couldn't have gotten the full experience of what being at an actual competition. Maybe it was a combination of being able to interact with so many people and having to be in the pits continually to fix our semi-functional robot, but going to comepetition and being around so many people all so ready and happy to work with each other is exciting. It's like nothing I've ever been to before.

FIRST is one of those few things that comes along that is exciting, engaging, and allows you to meet a whole lot of new people. I know that I'm already looking forward to whatever they are going to throw at us next.
