Re: Why did you join FIRST?

Lets start with my story
So sophomore year, two weeks before kickoff I realized i wasn't going to have much to do (cross-country ended and still had 4 more months until track) so I figured i would join this robotics team that the Tech Drawing teacher asked me to. Also two of my cousins were on team 25 (if i had known that i was getting into that HUGE competition they always talked about I might have been scared out of it...hurray for ignorance!!!). So two weeks after I joined...electrical sub-team leader (never touched a tool before) . A few months later Junior Team Leader. The next year i was team leader. In about 6 long months I will be at Ohio State University mentoring one of the teams that OSU helps. (i hope)
Some other strange ones from our team:
"I think I am in the wrong room" -Programming lead this year (his rookie year)
"I need to do something before practice" - helped quite a bit with build this year
"I heard you guys melt electronics, I could probably help." - someone who ended up joining
