Re: What have you given up for FIRST?
most definitely sleep, but i gained alot of that in history and english class,
 Oh and i passed up a trip to D.C. but i could go up there in a weekend, instead i went with the team to VCU. One thing i didn't give up was NASCAR, the only meetings i have missed in the last two years on the team was for the Daytona 500.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?
Sanity (though my team says that's debatable - apparently I never had any to start with)
Sleep Home-cooked Indian food (Make way for pizza, Arby's, and Chick-fil-a) Respect of my teachers (they don't understand why senioritis hasn't affect my robotics commitment when it has affected my schoolwork) Friends outside of robotics (they think I'm weird. I feel sorry because they don't know what they're missing out) Dance

My mom pulled the same approach, "Why can't you be so focused on schoolwork as you are on robotics?" The answer: My passion isn't filling out papers. It's calculating tolerances, lengths, measurements, milling stuff, drilling, assembling, and watching all my hard work either succeed or fail. My passion is mechanical stuff. My passion is troubleshooting. My passion is FIRST.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?
I'm missing the UNH Jazz Festival this year, and i missed the Berklee Jazz Festival last year. (i would have performed on piano)
and of course sleep, homework, time with family, proper eating habits, work hours, weekends, a life, etc. But i've gained so much more. I've met so many awesome people, and had so much fun. It's totally worth it.

Re: What have you given up for FIRST?
Sleep, money, gas, sanity, skiing, grades.
My grades this report probably already went down due to all nighters in Inventor. But I'm really not too worried this year.

I'm giving up money (from working) and music. Luckily, I've convinced my girlfriend to join our FIRST team.
