What are you talking about? "Stop"? What is this..."stop"? FIRST doesn't stop...these months are for outreach, fundraisers, finishing the '07 code, prototyping for '08, dreaming about '09, getting pumped for '10, and cleaning up the random crap in the shop from '06, '05, '04, and '03.
But seriously, why should all the fun stop? There's off-season events, and plenty of ideas to explore before we're back in a build window. I don't plan on idling any time soon...
Ever since I got back from Championships, I've been wearing some form of teamwear every day. The day I came back, I wore a Panteras (what number are you guys? It's not on the shirt...) t-shirt, my team jacket, my team party wristband, and my "Pit Crew" badge from being the programmer during eliminations. To quote one of my friends, I'm "bathing in nerdiness"
Take all of that energy and put it to use making next year sweet!
