NEVER FALL ASLEEP AT A FIRST COMPETITION (
PICTURES! )QUOTE]
I fell asleep at competitions all the time when I was younger.(I have 3 older siblings who did FIRST before me.) But since I've joined the team I've only fell asleep at one. We have pictures of it somewhere. But for a school project I had to carry around a baby doll that cryed all weekend. Which if you ever have to do that. Don't pick a FIRST filled weekend, you'll need more sleep then the kid gives you. It fell asleep at River Rage this year and I fell asleep a few miutes later. Blechers I must say, aren't all that comfy.
as for things you should know...
*Don't bring a fake baby to competitions, people think the thing is real and give you dirty looks especially if most people around you in FIRST know your entire family.
*Sleep is key...remember that always.
*Friends in FIRST become family throughout life. The bigger your family the more fun FIRST will be for you.
*The robot is important but remember that cheering for your robot is even more.
