Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. - JaneYoung [more]
I've come to a point where I'm forced to make a choice between GPA and FIRST, and I think GPA is the right "career choice" thing.
I'm finishing up my junior year in Systems Engineering and I find myself facing the same dilemma. Personally, I've decided not to care about my GPA. I value the real world experience I get from FIRST more than I value a weak abstraction of my academic abilities.
