Hey 07 rookies:

I remember my rookie year. Shortly after kickoff, I really had no clue what to expect of the FRC. When I attended my first Philly Regional, I was hooked....FRC will be a part of my life long after I graduate, I'll make sure I'm mentoring 321 for years to come.

The FRC also has drastically changed my college major intrests and career choices. I came into high school wanting to do something with computer programming, now I'm applying to Drexel as a MechE major. FRC has changed my life for the better - its also incredibly fun. I get free, 100% hands-on experience in machining, CAD design in expensive programs, and doing what I love to do....BEFORE I even get into college. I probably would of never got this much experience in the field before I graduated...but thanks to FRC, I'm already ahead of the pack. Take advantage of EVERYTHING given to you - Autodesk is a thousand dollar program - given to you for free! Learn it inside and out! Take advantage of that oppurtunity. Even the electronics, etc in the KOP costs over $10,000 - use everything! If you don't know what it is, learn about it and use it.
