Is it weird...
I'm new to FIRST and my birthday is during build season. Is it weird that i'd rather have a robotics team meeting than a birthday party?

No. I've had birthday parties at a robotics meeting before. Or gone from the robotics meeting to make some parts at another location and then to a family celebration.

Re: Is it weird...
At my age I don't celebrate birthday's anymore. I'd rather hang out with teenagers and build robots and be in complete denial about my aging.

Re: Is it weird...
I've been at competition during my birthday and that's really fun. A team can find all sorts of ways to celebrate a team member's birthday (or other special occasions) during the build and competition season. It makes for wonderful memories.

I can't actually remember a birthday party not occurring because of build season, though.
