Oh, sure - maybe for you
I focus a lot on the extracurricular activities associated with competitions because I'm not particularly good at handling competition. It drives me crazy in so many different ways. By that time, I want to be there to support my team - by cheering, or fixing, or talking it up with others - but I also need a break. Competition isn't my place to shine. That opportunity belongs to my team members and my robot. I'd much rather be watching from the sidelines, or otherwise keeping myself sane than having another breakdown in front of the whole world.
But, admittedly, if FIRST were full of people just like me, it would probably never work. Don't be like me, kids. I'm bad.
If I run into some of your team's student coaches/drivers on the field of battle someday, I still might ask 'em what they're doing after high school. :) - Ken Patton [more]
