Managing Grades and Responsibilities While On A FIRST Team

[dcarr]

I'll echo what Mark said - and I think we'll plan to make these guidelines even clearer this year.

I'll speak from my own experience: Robotics taught me good time management. My entire senior year was my best academic year ever, with straight A's in all classes including numerous APs, all while being president of our team which was an incredibly demanding job both in and out of build season. I think when you have more to do you're forced to learn proper time management, so just like some studies show athletes having better grades during the season, I think the same could be observed of students in robotics (although I lack data other than my own personal observations to back that up).
