You are possibly stealing opportunities from the High School Students. This is especially true if you are at the same team you just finished up with last year. If you were a senior leader last year, many of the younger students will still look to you for that leadership. This means they are not looking for this leadership from their seniors. Would you want to steal this opportunity? If you just graduated, and are dead set on helping FIRST, talk with the local Regional about helping them find sponsors and volunteer at the regional. Learning the other side of FIRST will make you an especially valuable mentor later on.

Very good point. Once again, it's all about talking with your team's mentors and clearly defining your role on the team.
