Just don't let it get too far out of balance. Things will get real ugly real fast if you don't keep balanced. Pay attention to your health, family, and grades. Don't get tunnel vision.

bingo! i say, if FIRST is what makes you happy, then by all means get involved, but not to the point where you're sick, failing, or on the rocks with family.
balance is key to getting the most out of the experience.
just my $0.02 as a fellow FIRST addict.
