Ok, a few weeks back, when I was sitting at my desk thinking life was good, things were slowing down, and I could finally enjoy life as a brand new empty nester, I got the call....We need a teacher to help with the FIRST ROBOTICS team. Life has not been sane since, and I mean in a truly good and exciting way, but I have this "deer in the headlights" look as I sit here tonight, just saw the competition rules and have the 45 day "count down" clock starting tonight.
It is exciting, fun, and scary none the less, a first year FIRST team. I am hoping some people here have mentored a team, or may be willing to post for some help should I become totally stumped on an idea. Most of the machining stuff I have down pat, but some pneumatics, C++ or Java or Labview programming help... I have some mentors coming in, but trust the people on this board as well for some timely feedback.
Loving Life, Living the Dream! Between this(FIRST) Machine shop, Project Lead the Way, ways to get these kids interested in Science. Technology, Engineering and Math...my career has changed in the past two years. Hopefully you do not mind this post and I can get a bit of help now and then.
Thanks,
Scott
