What are your post-season plans......

For myself, the FIRST Robotics season is over. I go back to my desk job as a student lol. FIRST is like the Army Reserve. Once the season is over, a lot of participants go back to work or school or both!

An exciting weekend or two at a competition has always been something exciting for me. I don't know about you guys, but the night before a competition, I don't usually sleep. I am way too excited. It is like a younger person not being able to sleep before Christmas or some other major holiday. I know walking through the doors on the first day always makes my stomach churn excitedly and anxiously. I know in just a couple hours robots will be clinging and clanging on the playing field.

Then, two short days later, it is over. The robots are packaged back up and are ready to be shipped to their next competition or sent home.

Anywho, I was just wondering what some of FIRSTers do when the season is over. I know there are some off season competitions and events but else is there? I usually develop my film from the competition, get it onto cd and place a hard copy in my photo album. It takes me a couple days to do everything you know, the film developing always slows me down.

Well this summer, I'm hoping to go for an Internship somewhere or work at Brookstone. Maybe I can convince them to let me use the Segway for work related details. If anyone has any foot in the doors for an internship let me know. I'm an IT Major with a Minor in Networking. I'm looking for something in a IT department or data entry program.

Thanks Everyone!
