Re: Keeping your mind on robotics
I love programming, just the reason why I joined robotics and the AP Comp Sci class, I had a mini game project going on, but all the other stuff just takes up my time, most of the time I can program is in the morning and the evening. Not a morning guy, so that leaves the evening, but I guess I have to make time for my programming.

Re: Keeping your mind on robotics
I am a big nerd when it comes to programming. I do a lot of freelance coding work and run a small web design business. I suggest that you do what I like doing during my down time and that is to just stop thinking about it. If you are really into robotics, you spend COUNTLESS hours in the shop during the season and by the end you are drained of ideas. Just take a break and do some new things over the summer! Before you know it, you will be staying in the shop 'till midnight (sometimes later and you will eat nothing but pizza and pop again!).

I guess why I got that is because you said earlier that it seems like programming is work / a chore. If I'm really into something, I generally don't have trouble wanting to do it, or doing it.

Well think of it this way, I love football and lifting, those aren't exactly walk in the park. There are things that you enjoy but is hard work, programming is one of those, just drains your brain after a while

Re: Keeping your mind on robotics
I CAD any ideas I may have, then bust my way into our shop. Our head mentor can not keep us out of that place for to long.
