Re: FIRST for Non-Engineering Students

My school is a vocational school containing 16 seperate vocational areas. Students from almost all of those shops are on our robotics team. Most of our students are not going into engineering, but rather their individual fields. Many of our students are talented in many different areas and that is great. It comes in handy in the work force, that's why we run our team like a business with seperate subteams and shops.

Also, I was one of the top trumpet players and only bassoon player in my middle school. My currrent school does not have a band, so i produce music and have a band on the side. It was a tough decision to make, but i know that it will pay off. Music is one of the great things that you dont really need to take a class for.
