On a related note, other ways I am dedicated to FIRST:

I used 2.5 of my vacation days to fly to Atlanta just to talk to students about scholarships and Kettering. (If you ever have questions about scholarships or just need advice about them send me a PM, Im more than willing to help)

I have made it a personal crusade to make it harder for the scholarship providers to choose by making sure people apply to every scholarship they could win.

Dinner conversations at my house and at my girlfriend's house always center around robotics (OCCRA, VEX, or FRC)

The conversations at my girlfriend's involve people from 3 different teams all with varying philosophies on how to run a team (They are REALLY fun)

Most of my best friends are from FRC

I have already started planning my world tour for next year (at least what teams I want to see)

The high point of my experience at Championship was not seeing a couple good friends from high school take World Finalist but was instead going down to award a scholarship to a young man who needed it to afford college at his university of choice.

I have to find out who my professors are for my Friday schedule this summer term so I can inform them I will be skipping their classes to attend IRI. (It is the FIRST week of classes in the summer term)

Perhaps dedicated isn't the proper word, addicted might be better.
that real detication i got to find out how im going to pay for my college tuition for Embry-Riddle that is 50,000 a year for flight students so yea
i got my work cut out for me
