Re: I Kept Quiet for far too long. This. Is. WAR!!!

I guess my perspective is skewed. To me anyway, all the volunteers at these events are there to make the competition run smoothly and make sure everyone can play the game. Our hard work as a volunteer team makes sure that happens.

Some roles may be seen as more 'fun' (such as MC or Announcer) but ALL of the roles are just as important. There would be no matches to MC without the Queuers. And no robots on the field without the Inspectors. Etc...

The FIRST competitions are a celebration of the high school students accomplishment of 'solving' the game challenge. Personally I don't care how much 'glamor' is in the role I'm fulfilling when I volunteer. I still get the satisfaction that I helped to make event run for those hard working students. Isn't that what it's about?
