Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

Things I have given up for FIRST
1. TONS of sleep, at the shop or just thinking about how to win.
2. Time with friends.
3. Time with the family
4. Free time
5. Time for homework...I sometimes stay up until like 12 doing homework, but it gets done doesn't it.

Ofcourse, I have more but what don't/wouldn't give up for FIRST? Over the past year I have learned more then I have learned in most of my life. I would also like to thank all of the mentors on 45 and mentors/students from other teams that have taught me all I know about FIRST. Hopefully I can teach a kid all I know about FIRST someday.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

I've given up free time, since everything else is a constant. Free time is the only variable .

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

bada-bump, 'cause this is a topic too great to ignore.

I've given up:
-Sanity
-Better Judgement (Who in the right mind would stay at SCHOOL until 8pm? Oh right, a FIRSTer.)
-Trying to drink less 'dew (That was a stupid idea anyways =p)

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

Sanity (though my team says that's debatable - apparently I never had any to start with)
Sleep
Home-cooked Indian food (Make way for pizza, Arby's, and Chick-fil-a)
Respect of my teachers (they don't understand why senioritis hasn't affect my robotics commitment when it has affected my schoolwork)
Friends outside of robotics (they think I'm weird. I feel sorry because they don't know what they're missing out)
Dance

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

Sleep, money, gas, sanity, skiing, grades.

My grades this report probably already went down due to all nighters in Inventor. But I'm really not too worried this year.

That's because FIRST is a way of life, a passion, a reason to wake up and go to school for some of us, and schoolwork is just a necessary evil. =p

My mom pulled the same approach, "Why can't you be so focused on schoolwork as you are on robotics?"

The answer: My passion isn't filling out papers. It's calculating tolerances, lengths, measurements, milling stuff, drilling, assembling, and watching all my hard work either succeed or fail. My passion is mechanical stuff. My passion is troubleshooting.

My passion is FIRST.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

I'm missing the UNH Jazz Festival this year, and i missed the Berklee Jazz Festival last year. (i would have performed on piano)

and of course sleep, homework, time with family, proper eating habits, work hours, weekends, a life, etc.

But i've gained so much more. I've met so many awesome people, and had so much fun. It's totally worth it.
