What else do you do besides robotics?

[zachrobo1]

Hey CD!

I know that for most of us on here (myself included), robotics is our life. But I still have some time for other things too. That made me wonder, what activities/hobbies do FIRSTers do, other than robotics?

For me, I play trumpet in marching band and am on the school's cricket team.

Well.

I volunteer at FRC events.
I volunteer at FLL events.
I mentor an FLL team.
I work at an FLL summer camp.
I obsessively refresh Chief Delphi.

wait...NOT robotics. Not much.

I'm on the cross country team and I was the captain of the volleyball team.

[Hallry]

Woah woah woah, people do stuff BESIDES robotics?

[Metonym]

I take photos of stuff that isn't robotics related. You can see some of my stuff on my flickr page below. I enjoy the hobby, but it is an expensive one once you get into it. I haven't had much time to shoot since champs, but I'll get back in the swing of things after school is over.

I've been trying my hand at videography recently, but I've only had time at events so all I've done is make highlight reels.

[Bryce Paputa]

I sleep sometimes, but then I end up dreaming about robotics so I'm not sure if that counts...

I like this question. Its really intersting to see what other FIRSTers do.
I'm a cross country captain
I run track
I bake and can, and have gotten several ribbons at the Wisconsin state fair
Chemistry Olympiad, and Mathleates.

Robotics is love
Robotics is life

[Pault]

I'm confused...

Do you mean like taking a break for meals?
Do you consider browsing CD not robotics?
How about cleaning the workshop? Does that count?

I really just don't understand what your getting at.

Fencing
Internship at U of A Astronomy
Also, I have to go to school.

[Anthony Galea]

I run cross country, play baseball (both high school and travel), play the trumpet, and referee soccer games.

Other than that (related to robotics), refresh CD, Mentor FTC.

This thread made me kind of sad because I realized that I don't do anything other than robotics...

Well when I'm not doing hard core procastinating I try to finish writing the scrpit to my Webcomic project Constant Threat.

I also am into herpetology. Those are Poison Dart frogs. In the wild they are one of the world's deadliest creatures. In captivity you can pick them up by had (but I wouldn't recommend it because it stresses them out).

[Luigi]

Outside of robotics, I play varsity soccer, run varsity track (and pole vault), rock climb a lot (outdoors and indoors), lifeguard, and do lots of homework (junior year ). Robotics and soccer are my biggest commitments over the year, though school is pretty big as well

There was a thread about what else do you do from 2012. Check out the amazing spud-guns towards the end of the thread.

I still do the things I mentioned in that thread including ham radio (Hi I'm K3FXS). I'm really not doing robots since I'm off on a year long trip on "Americas Great Loop". You can see the trip on our site. But, I still packed my VEXIQ parts for those rainy parts of the trip

Teach people the new FIRST DANCE…sometimes even if they try to run away from me…but then usual they end up liking it..perhaps doing it…Have fun. Brogan from Seattle
