Re: How has robotics affected you?

Oh wow. We could all probably go one forever about how FIRST has changed our lives.

I'll share just a little bit of my story. A little background first;

Im an architecture student, and for those of you that don't know about architecture school, we have to build and draw alot of complex models and designs. This often leads to alot of sleepless nights. I pride myself in getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night while my classmates can be up for almost 72 hours straight, all while still having every ounce of my work done and stress free. A large majority of my class is openly jealous of how calm and in control I am during the hectic critique (presentation) weeks.

I attribute all of my time and stress managment as well as my fabrication and public speaking skills to the experiences Ive had in FIRST.
