What have you given up for FIRST?

[ElfMaster]

Sleep, grades, social life, food occasionally, sanity (if I ever had it) the usual. But my parents...

The first year we were in FIRST (2003), we had no where to work. So we worked in my garage... then my living room... We really took over the living and dining room. We pushed all the furniture to the side and did drilling, sawing, filing in there. It got to the point you didn't want to walk barefoot across the room, just like the garage.

So my mom gave up most of the house to robotics.

Of course this year we're restricted to the garage and a closet at school... she did give us the kitchen table to work on though.
