Go to Post when I was a ball setter at PARC one year (6th grade?). As soon as I saw what High school students could do with thier own two hands and how they mingled with industry, I knew, at that moment, it was for me. - henryBsick [more]

I appreciate the push, though. In fact, I also gently push our graduates towards college and tell them to get settled before even considering robotics. (Which I did indeed do, not participating basically at all fall semester. And now I'm about to break 1000 hours since kickoff. Anyway...) I talk to them about their grades and commitments too. Most think it's a little weird, but it works. If they're going to come back, I'd rather it be in spite of me rather than because my example. It shows they really want to be here (also, that we're patently insane), and they're doing it entirely of their own volition. The way I see it, everything from there on is their problem, though I'll of course try to help if they ask. This is my basic philosophy with the HS kids too (though with less "grow up" than I offer the alumni), along with the overruling points Foster explained.

Personally, I'm just a ridiculously stubborn person to get rid of. Foster should really know this by now.
