If you have tips on study advice, how to study, or how you manage all of this with your addiction to robotics it would help me so I can possibly relate and work out similar strategies to breaking this crack like robotics addiction.

I think I can say that I am very involved in FIRST. But NO matter what happens, your schoolwork comes before robotics. I, myself browse Chiedelphi 24/7 and involve robotics in my everyday life in everything I do.
Give yourself at least 4 to 5 hours out of your day to study. I am assuming that you are a high school student. If I were in your place, I would do my schedule as such (just a suggestion). Wake up, go to school, get home by 3 in the afternoon, give myself 1 hour to catch up with homework, give yourself a break to do something fun, get back to studying around 7 and study until 10 at night, give yourself another break, after everyone falls sleep, give yourself another hour to look over things that you have done all day to refresh your memory before falling sleep.
There have been times when my parents were convinced that I should quit robotics, but after seeing what I do, they don't question it that much anymore. Involve your parents into everything you do, you shouldn't have anything to hide in first place. Show them that you are trying your best, they will help you through the process before they ask you to quit.
