Re: Stress, burnout, and stepping back
I'm taking a year off FRC because I noticed that I haven't gotten any new products out the door in my home business since I started mentoring FRC four years ago.
I'm still mentoring our little Vex team on Saturdays only, so I have some involvement, but not the huge time commitment of the FRC build season. I've already made significant progress on shipping a new product!
The other mentors have stepped up, the team has a lot of seniors and a batch of new students, and things are going very well so far. I do plan to drop in on the team now and then during the build season to see how they're doing.
I'll be at a Vex competition during kickoff. That will be strange.

It's not the name "FIRST" that is important but the ideas that go into and come out of it in the long run. - Levin571 [more]
