I will probably start 1-2 months before so I have most of the work done, so i can help actually build the robot

I try to do most of the learning and heavy coding during the offseason, which is basically from April until December. This summer I taught myself PHP and MySQL, which was quite a rewarding endeavor. And just like any of my mechanical designs, Team 228's website follows the "Design is an Iterative Process" mantra. If I see something that I want fixed, and it's the middle of June, I'll fix it.
On the whole, all my website work for 228 has always been a "side project", just something that I design and code at home. (I'm really a mechie at heart.
) Then again, I wear many hats on our team, including team captain, mechanical design, main base driver, webmaster, pit crew, head of photography and videography, adjunct programmer, and occasional motivational speaker.
Edit: Where's the "All year round" category? I chose "After the competition" because it was the closest.
