Before I introduce myself, I want to start by saying that this is more than robotics and programming. This is my family, friends, and my way of life. Somedays, these people turn into my counselors. Someday, they are more than just some high school kids. My name is Ben Thomas, and I am a stressed-out high school sophomore. I take part in my local high school robotics team and work with them vigorously, hour after hour, just for a FIRST FRC blue banner. For confidentiality, I will not state last names, or my team's name/number.
Second, I want to thank all of you for your interests. I understand that some of these people here received word of my blog on an ordinary day at the build site, but for everyone else, welcome! And those of you who thought I was joking all this time, you can stop laughing now!
I am a very busy young man, but I will make an effort to post everyday, and discuss funny stories and codes. I also will be able to answer a few programming questions in the language of Python.
Now you are probably wondering, "Ben, why waste your time doing this when you could be writing code for a robot or sleeping?". Well first off, great idea! Second, I believe that STEM needs to be promoted and that friendship is very important. I can tell you for a fact that this week has been hard on some schoolmates for personal reasons which I will not address. Students and kids need to be welcomed and the FIRST organization is perfect for this! Along with this, STEM needs to grow, as I believe it is our future, and chances are you do too if you're reading this!
All in all, I hope you are all in for a fantastic ride, because I got tips, stories, and suggestions I just need to shout from the rooftops before my days end. And you lucky ducks got front row seats, so buckle up!
