Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

I'm giving up money (from working) and music. Luckily, I've convinced my girlfriend to join our FIRST team.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

I'm getting the feeling I'm gonna be losing sleep....And definitely I've already been giving up time for working. Less money. Good thing I've saved SOME up. Thankfully my girlfriend's on the team, so no worries there. Unfortunately, I'm definitely going to be struggling to keep my homework up to scratch. Not to mention my (partially nonexistant) social life is going to get bruised a bit.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?

I love how so many guys are saying they lost their girlfriends.

A semi-comforting thought, I guess:

If they don't support FIRST, what kind of girlfriend are they?
and if you don't try to get them into it, what kind of boyfriend are you? (only kidding.)

I give up a lot for FIRST, mostly sleep and sanity, but it's all completely and totally worth it.

i have given up alot too, as in all of my free time to do anything. i have swim team in the morning so i have to go to bed at like 8/9 on days we work later, making it so that all of my time not spent at school or swimming is spent working on our bot.
