Do you really want to be an FTA though? There's a lot more to it than you see on the field. The FTA is the first one on site and the last one off site, every single day. Sure, you get to wear the giant target on your back and you get to tell teams "you need to turn on your robot for it to work" fifty times a day, but it's not all sunshine and roses. FTA is hard menial work with a lot more responsibility than most think.

The FTA is only the most important (and powerful) volunteer at an event.
Your knowledge and competence can make or break an event. No pressure.
