Re: Mentoring as a College Freshman

Most college students aren't mature enough to be effective mentors. I would not have admitted to this when I was in college, but it definitely applied to me too.

College is a great time to try other design competitions like Design/Build/Fly, FormulaSAE, FormulaHybrid, or just do your own thing. Chances are you won't be building competitive robots in your professional life, so you might as well try something else. FIRST will still be here in a few years should you decide to give back then.
