It's incredibly important to me to stay actively involved, but I have come to the realisation that I need some help and advice on how best to do this while still working and getting through school with decent marks, without completely working myself to death.

Volunteering! Even if FRC mainly has events spring semester, there are hopefully opportunities in your area to volunteer for FTC/FLL/FLLjr events and the like. No matter what you do, don't forsake homework for robots. I'm here for advice!
