Re: What was your role each year on your team?

2004/2005-FLL, I don't really remember that much... (The Inventioneers)

2005/2006-FLL, we only had 4 students, so we all did it all. (The Inventioneers)

2006/2007-FLL, Had lots of fun. I did it all, but our team really started outreach this year. (The Inventioneers)

2007/2008-FLL, Same thing... (The Inventioneers)
-FRC, I was Safety Captain and helped with wiring. I didn't get a chance to do much programming as I was still busy with the 2007 FLL season. (Team 2342, Team Phoenix)

2008/2009-FLL, This was my final year as an FLL participant. At my last tournament I cried because I knew I was going to miss my FLL team SOOOOOO much when my family moved to Australia. (The Inventioneers)
-FRC, I was the Safety Captain and in charge of Autonomous mode. I also helped with wiring. (Team 2342, Team Phoenix)

2009/2010-FLL, I moved into a mentor/judge role. I mentored 4+ FLL teams and judged at the New South Wales States, and Australian National FLL tournaments. I also talked at the NZ pilot FLL tournament and was a volunteer.
-FRC, I was the Team Captain and helped in all areas of the team. I tried (with a little success) focusing on electrical, but I also helped with mechanical, programming, animation, buissness, communications, fundraising, travel, public speaking, t-shirts, and anything else that was needed!!! (Team 3132, Thunder Down Under)

2010/2011-FLL I hope to continue in a mentor/judge role, I don't think I could ever give FLL up. It started me on a path that has been amazing, and if I could give that to more students, I would be very happy.
-FRC, I will be a participant, I imagine doing whatever needs to be done again. I hope to pass on my knowledge to the younger students we will have coming in so when I am done with FRC in 1-2 years there won't be a gap in knowledge. (Team 3132, Thunder Down Under)
