How did you come to do webpage design?

However, towards the second half of the year, when our sole non engineering member quit, we still had no website. In the middle of build season, I was unable to go to meetings for two weeks, but I still wanted to contribute, and the only way I could do so was through making our team a website.

Morale of the story? Just because someone has experience with web design (or anything else for that matter), don't assume that's what they want to do in robotics. (Sorry, not very helpful, I know)

One thing that we're doing this year is that we're joining forces with FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) because they're a really big group and some of them have expressed interest in starting an online business. I think we're supposed to be getting a couple of them to help me with the website this year.

Thank you for the moral. Getting people interested in other aspects is something we need, too, as a third of our team graduated last school year. Web page just seems like a good way to this, even if they end up doing build or something.

That's pretty cool that the FBLA are helping you out! It would be fun to team up with a group like that. So now, do you enjoy doing the website or would you rather be solely a programmer?
