What else do you do besides robotics?

Hey CD!

I know that for most of us on here (myself included), robotics is our life. But I still have some time for other things too. That made me wonder, what activities/hobbies do FIRSTers do, other than robotics?

For me, I play trumpet in marching band and am on the school's cricket team.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

Well.

I volunteer at FRC events.
I volunteer at FLL events.
I mentor an FLL team.
I work at an FLL summer camp.
I obsessively refresh Chief Delphi.

wait...NOT robotics. Not much.

I'm on the cross country team and I was the captain of the volleyball team.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

I take photos of stuff that isn't robotics related. You can see some of my stuff on my flickr page below. I enjoy the hobby, but it is an expensive one once you get into it. I haven't had much time to shoot since champs, but I'll get back in the swing of things after school is over.

I've been trying my hand at videography recently, but I've only had time at events so all I've done is make highlight reels.

I sleep sometimes, but then I end up dreaming about robotics so I'm not sure if that counts...

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

I'm confused...

Do you mean like taking a break for meals?
Do you consider browsing CD not robotics?
How about cleaning the workshop? Does that count?

I really just don't understand what your getting at.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

I run cross country, play baseball (both high school and travel), play the trumpet, and referee soccer games.

Other than that (related to robotics), refresh CD, Mentor FTC.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

This thread made me kind of sad because I realized that I don't do anything other than robotics...

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

Stuff that isn't robotics... sometimes I do my homework when there's nothing for me to do at a meeting, does that count?
I kid. Competitive Irish dance, clarinet, and creative writing.

Re: What else do you do besides robotics?

I'm lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest, so I climb quite a bit (rocks and mountains). Robotics never really stops, though - I brought my 1540 shirt to the top of Mt. Rainier last summer. That was a very cold picture to take.
