Season over all ready!!

[popnbrown]

I'm really suprised the season went by so quickly. I had way too much fun but now i'm really missing it. I dont know why but FIRST has really got me, I'm totally into robotics and FIRST. The Championship was definetely fun, other than the walking from the pits allllll the way to Archimedes (long walk!!!) I just loved the spirit of the teams, and everyone yelling. Never thought it would be this much fun. I miss the regionals as well especially since we actually had a lot more people to yell out "Lets go 1403!!!". Well, now its back to school work, until Monty Madness and then maybe I'll try to do something with the team over summer. Waiting to see any1 that I saw again next summer.

I know the feeling. It's hard to just stop doing something you've dedicated the past couple months to. Now that the robotics season is ended, I keep wondering, "I actually have time now...what do I do?" It's rather confusing, really.

What I'm going to miss the most are the people. I've learned so much from all kinds of wonderful people. The robotics team is like my family - in fact, I'm pretty sure I've been around them more these past few months than I've been around my own family.

You're right, the season did go by quickly. I'm happy, because it's been a successful one as well as fun. But I'm also upset about it at the same time - we're losing a few members of our team, and it's not going to be the same without them and not having them there to look up to. It's kind of scary to think that next season the rookies will be looking to people like me for answers...

But yeah. Reflecting back on this season, it couldn't have gone better. And though next season is going to be completely different, I say bring it.

What do you mean the season's over?!

Our 2007 FRC season probably won't be over until late October/early November, which is well into the FVC build season. We have six different FRC off-season competitions planned: Beantown Blitz, BattleCry @ WPI, IRI, Bash at the Beach, River Rage, and possibly Rah Cha Cha Ruckus.

Never mind the imperial British Empire, the sun never sets on our FIRST season!

For some teams the season is over but for The X-cats its maybe what i call a new beginning....thats because we have to move out of our site after like i dont know maybe 10 years at the same place as people have been saying. All i know is that most of the team will help finish up packing and then a new Site....which we dont know where thats going to be.*sigh*

[Cartwright]

Yeah! How I figure it, there are two seasons to FIRST, The Season, and The Off-Season! Both are great! Everybody come to the IRI, the #1 Off-season event (at least in my book)!

it's not over, it can never end >.>

My team has about 3 super awesome off-season projects we are already planning... it's going to be one of the best off-seasons ever

Oh my. I have about a couple weeks robotics free to study for SATs.

I can't wait for the off season events!!! Battle at the Border, and hopefully IRI!
i swear, the first thing i thought of when i left the social saturday night, was Oh crap, this season's done.

Thanks to all in FIRST; it was a good run.
Until January!

Sravan, your season isn't over, in fact I'll make it my personal mission as a second semester senior to see to it that you won't run out of work. First on your list, get a camera system working, once you uncrate the robot. You can fill in some time with Monty Madness, then maybe if your good we'll consider PARC and IRI.

Once you can understand programming, you can move on to other stuff, like Design.....

Remember Everyone, if you end your season now, it'll be even shorter next year.

It's a couple of blocks away, Casey.
Quite nice too (and I've only seen the outside of it. I can't wait to see the inside).
