Other Than FIRST, What Do You Do?

Outside of FIRST, what activities do you, or other people on your team do? I Don't want any posts saying "Sorry, first is my life" because i already knew that so don't fill up the thread.

For my team, we have quiet a few theatre nerds(me being the biggest i think) on our team. Then we got the normal video game addicts and that about sums up just about everyone.

Re: Other Than FIRST, What Do You Do?

You have time for other than FIRST? Okay...sorry, no posts like that...

When I'm not working for FIRST, or mentoring my high school's FRC team, I web design and create computer graphics. No major companies or anything like that yet, but I of course maintain my own website. You can see a portfolio of my designs at my website. I also do pixel-based and computer (vector-style) graphics.

My most public design has been the website for the Pi Chapter of Mu Beta Psi. Yes, fraternity, yes, I'm female. It's co-ed.

Mu Beta Psi is a National Honorary Music Fraternity, so that being said at one point in my life I did marching band and FIRST. Now, I spend a lot of time doing service for the Rutgers Bands (ie, setting up their drum stand & set for basketball games, providing water and snacks to the marching band during football season, cleaning uniforms, etc.). I still play flute and piccolo on occasion. Of course we plan parties and have fun like regular college kids too. And I just branched out my art skills into my fraternity, and designed them a new Rush shirt for Spring 2008.

Re: Other Than FIRST, What Do You Do?

I run my own data-center in my house. That keeps me very busy.
I have school (I'm a full time senior in college as well as a senior in high school.)
I love to play around with various electronic designs I'm currently working on.
And, of course, my girlfriend is the most important thing in my life.

I supposed I'm the typical nerd. With >40 machines running in my house, a LAN party room, and a full fledged cubicle in my room, I couldn't imagine being much more of a nerd.

Well.

Maybe..... If I stopped leaving the house. I guess I'm not THAT bad.

Jacob

Up until last summer, most of my days consisted of WoW and an occasional day where I hung out with people.

Summer started, I was at the beach like every day.
Now I do martial Arts.
Go Ice Skating with friends monthly.

Re: Other Than FIRST, What Do You Do?

I build and fly High Power rockets (hence my username). They are kind of like estes model rockets times a bunch. The one in my sig is just under 11 feet tall, and flies to around 4,000 feet and 4/5ths the speed of sound. Really fun things to build during the offseason

Re: Other Than FIRST, What Do You Do?

When I'm not busy with FIRST, I'm reading Tom Clancy or playing video games. I also practice with my airsfot guns (I own 4). It helps me calm down, especially since this is exam week.

I'm in Skills USA, specifically: Computer Maintenance Technology. It's ok I guess, personally I like FIRST more. I'm also in California Math League, which is fun.
