I saw a thread like this my freshman year posted by Ken Leung, and I thought I’d post something similar because it was a real pick-me-up.
It’s the last week, and it’s time to perservere. It doesn’t matter what position you’re in it’s crunch time. However, don’t lose sight of things. Be careful not to overstress yourself. Try not to get sick (it stinks to do an all-nighter when you’re sick). Don’t lose sight of your teammates (leaders, this means you). Make sure they aren’t getting burnt out after 5 and a half weeks of robotics. Encourage them and tell them to keep up the great work.
Keep working guys! I hope to see some great robots at the regionals. And just think, in a week, you’ll be sleeping (if you believe in sleep, of course).
good luck to all
remember
if you get 6-8 hours sleep , you will probably get more done when your awake.
you can have 6 hours extra working on it with no sleep, so the work will be haphazard,less safe and lower quality. or you can have some decent sleep, work more efficiently and with more energy and therfore with a higher quality.
Sleep my friends
(and its 930 am here, before someone notices the time of my post :))
I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck and we only have 5 days left i hope everyone is doing their best and getting the full participation from their team as we are ours. See you guys at Great Lakes and Nationals. Travis
