I started on my High Schools FIRST robotics team after talking to one of my Physics teachers about clubs to join. I went to an open house night a few days later and watched the robot in action; I was hooked and have been involved in robotics ever since. My only regret is that fact that I didn't learn about the Robotics team until the end of my Freshman year and had missed all of the events for that year. Thanks Mr. Nagy
When I first joined the team I really didn't know what I could do to help build a robot. I couldn't decide what area I wanted to focus in so I figured why not try them all. When I started I really didn't know anything about power tools, electronic wiring, pneumatics and metal/wood working among other things.
