Why Did You Join Your Robotics Team?

[davidthefat]

Kids in Robotics are labelled as "nerds" and "geeks" and losers and stuff like that. Honestly NO ONE wants to be called that, or even labelled that. I did not even know about the existence of our team since this year (beginning of the school year) after I joined AP Comp Sci. And after I joined, I fell in love, despite the fact that it really is filled with people I would not personally hang out with outside the club, but there are some real cool kids on the team. I joined to get "real life" experience out side my house (Im a programmer) and I can say that I made a great decision. Really people have the stereotype that I am a "Dumb Asian", Im on the Football team, and the Track Team and I'm a gym rat, and I can say that I don't get the best grades, but I am smart, just lazy. People see me and think "Holy Crap hes a big Asian" and don't ever think I program They get surprised when I tell them how old I really am and that I program...
