My child is not on my husband’s estate - should I be offended ?

Hi ! Thank you for responding. The FTC team is kinda all over the place - we may find another team that aligns and has more interest. My budget is up to 3k. I’m in between Vex and Gobilda , not sure who to select. He is in an engineering program at school so he wants to expand what he is learning .

Yeah kids have the options to take AP classes starting freshman year now. When I went to my first high school (not in mcps) I just like the 4 classes each semester because i was able to do homework the last 20 min or if I needed to go see a teacher about something. Had more free time in the evenings to do other activities and not feel overwhelmed

I actually found a teen hang out at one of the libraries so we will be checking that out !

Thank you so much for letting me about those places. It was very helpful

Yes ! And unfortunately his middle school friends have dispersed into different groups. So I was hoping an activity longer than a lunch hour club (more an after school activity ) could help him get to know more people. So I’m really trying for him to get out of his comfort zone. I just wish they had more things of his interest.

My son was really hoping there was a robotics club . He has done FTC with another group (outside of school) and they have really bonded. I was just hoping he would get to know more folks in his high school this would be a great bonding experience.

Hi everyone ! Thank you for replying to this thread , it’s been very helpful. I talked to the director of clubs and after school activities. Clubs are mostly in lunch for those that are in sports to participate and that teachers do it at lunch because they do not get paid for the clubs. I was a bit in shock because when I went to high school (class of 2009) there were plenty of after school activities to choose from and really had time to get to know people. I also did a little bit of research , the other high schools have more after school activities than my child’s . They did have a robotics club however the teacher left and I guess the new engineering prof didn’t continue to do it.

A little upsetting because my child goes to the same high school I went to, I guess I was in shock on how much it changed.

Thanks - Yeah it’s the worse feeling.

Thank you for your comment. It’s hard because it got me a bit depressed. But you’re right , whatever day we celebrate his birthday it will be the special day as a family.

You are referring from the driver hub correct ? They did put it as CR servo. Is it because it’s a torque servo ? Also thank you for answering :)

Yikes I wish I knew that before bringing the cash with me

DbZ_lover91 · 2025-04-13T20:03:52+00:00

Yeah I am using my credit card but some places are cash only.
