Quote: "Robotics has taught me valuable time and resource management skills and given be a chance to practice what I'd like to do!"
Robotics Skills "I plan to work on stuff that goes to and works in space and other planets, and know the skills I learn here will enable me to achieve that vision."
Best Memory: "Winning the Excellence Award as a Middle Schooler when we were least expecting it. It was amazing because we had worked on our bot all season and reminded ourselves "excellence!" whenever anyone was doing something off task. At our only tournament, we didn't think we had a great shot, but decided to have fun and be enthusiastic and it payed off!"

"I enjoy coding as a hobby, although probably not as my major. I might minor in it in college, so the C++ stuff could be useful there, although learning coding is also just a good way of practicing skills with logic which are generally useful. The CAD stuff could come in handy in the future, although I doubt I'll pursue an engineering job where it would be critical. Problem solving skill's I'll use all the time, but I probably won't use any of the specific robotic mechanisms."
Best Part: "For me, probably the challenge of it, and the opportunity for constant improvement."

Quote: "Robotics has helped me to grow some key skills such as teamwork, leadership, documentation, and strategy. All of these have been crucial to developing my personality and my identity. "
Favorite Part: "My favorite part of robotics is during a competition. So much can go wrong, or so much can go right. It is the true test of not just your robot, but a test of your team. A close second would be heling younger teams learn something or give them tools to have a better robotics experience. "
