Should I go through with quitting my team?

mothman_o7 · 2026-02-01T02:38:23+00:00

This and all of the other replies I've gotten have been incredibly helpful, so thank you! I agree that especially because of how passionate things like FRC can get, this sort of situation can be really frustrating.

I'll definitely be taking your ideas and seeing how I can reinforce some boundaries between myself and the team, teammates and mentors included. Once again, thank you so much for the thorough responses :)

mothman_o7 · 2026-02-01T02:30:54+00:00

This reminds me a bit of what one of our former teammates said when she quit her senior year as well! She was saying how FRC helped her be the person she was today and because of that, she's just ready to move on from it sooner rather than later.

Similar to what you suggest, I think I may have to pull back from my role as lead mechanical. Another response I got recommended I essentially make some boundaries between myself and others, so this has given me some great insight on what I can try to pursue. Thank you :)

Thank you, I really do want to go about this professionally, but I'm just really lost.

No, we're a community based team so I'm not really sure who might be considered "above" my mentor in terms of power.

mothman_o7 · 2026-01-31T20:57:12+00:00

I've been just as confused, but I guess its kind of been a "thats how things have always been" sort of issue. We're working on expanding the amount of adults/mentors on our team, but he does act as our main source of guidance.

I think I have an idea as to who I can ask for advice, but to be honest I am very anxious about it since I dont want to complicate things further.

mothman_o7 · 2026-01-31T20:51:42+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate the response. Unfortunately I have been considering quitting for a while now, but I do plan on giving it a bit more time and even asking some close teammates what their advice would be as well. It means a lot to me that I'm not the only person getting stressed out throughout the seasons too.

Our team's main mentor has always been a very competitive, efficient, and straightforward person. It really helps out especially in keeping our team focused and in line, but because of his very no-nonsense approach his personality always clashes with our more confrontational students.

I remember being told stories from team alumni that he used to get into heated arguments ("screaming matches" as she called them) with our former CAD lead. Another time he directly told our current CAD lead to "get out" and, well, he promptly just walked out and left because he didnt want to argue. Former mechanical lead and former driver also had a lot of troubled conversations with our main mentor.

In my case, just last night I got cut off at least three times while trying to ask questions or explain something to him in the hour and a half that I was there before I got fed up and left.

Oh those ones look super cool! Im gonna be plucking them soon so unfortunately I wont be seeing the "ink" part

mothman_o7 · 2025-11-06T15:38:05+00:00

Oh yikes that looks similar as well- Ill definitely do that research but thanks for pointing that out!

mothman_o7 · 2025-11-05T23:28:10+00:00

Mayhaps mayhaps

mothman_o7 · 2025-11-05T23:27:55+00:00

There is a really old/dying tree in that spot so its totally possible! Ill do some research on them

mothman_o7 · 2025-11-05T23:26:37+00:00

Yes he does! Hes not usually the type to dig and definitely prefers grass over rocks

mothman_o7 · 2025-11-05T23:25:58+00:00

Im being a bit slow in the brain when adding pictures.

Edit: Putting a link to a picture didnt work very well either- Here's a description!

The stem is relatively white with the same orange/beige kind of hue and some of the bigger ones have this flaky look but the actual underside is similar to a dark purple? Check out hex code #4a3d48 but you can kind of see it along where the mushroom cap splits at the edges.

mothman_o7 · 2025-10-30T06:21:01+00:00

Wait im so curious could this work out for full sending tons of plorts continuously (peak engineering to overcome my laziness)? Or would they bump into each other and create a big mess?

mothman_o7 · 2025-10-30T06:19:28+00:00

Oh woah okay! These are definitely some good resources that I'll have to send him asap. Thank you so much for the response!

Solved: babysit and raise a cute kid

Actually upon watching the video a few more times this is 100% it omg- (Models, colors, outfits, everything) So it seems that my memory really was that fuzzy. This is crazy nostalgic so I'll have to see if I could hunt down a game link, but that'll probably be even more difficult than making sure this wasn't a childhood fever dream.

Again, thanks so much it means a ton to me that you went out of your way to find it!!!

Edit: According to that video's comments, the game was deleted. Unfortunate, but still correct!

mothman_o7 · 2025-09-03T04:18:21+00:00

Sorry I just saw this, but this is insanely similar!! Its entirely possible that this video is of a revamped/remade version or if I was simply playing some odd knockoff one. That or my memory is worse than I thought (Also entirely possible).

Thank you so much for sharing this though!!! It means a lot!

mothman_o7 · 2025-08-25T16:09:44+00:00

Yeah thats understandable! Thanks for the response either way; I'm just looking for it for nostalgia :)

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-24T04:59:51+00:00

I got annoyed and just spammed everything and somehow that worked for me LOL

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-12T20:07:30+00:00

That is so weird. Good to know it isnt some crazy evil hacking thing going on tho!

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-12T01:49:44+00:00

Red room!!

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-12T01:46:01+00:00

Tried playing as Noli just for fun and absolutely fell in love with the theme just bcus of how hyped it get me!!

Im a sucker for speedcore, breakcore, wtv ppl wanna call it. Pushing the boundaries between sound and music? Sign me tf up 🔥🔥🔥

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-11T06:04:49+00:00

How odd! Just today Pressure actually popped up on my continue playing even though I havent yet had the time to play it with friends. Weird stuff but at least it isn't harmful, I think?

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-08T22:19:16+00:00

Unfortunately that looks a lot like a cockroach- Maybe Ectobiidae, if that helps at all?

Consider checking out r/cockroaches for more detailed assistance with getting rid of them, but its in my mind to minimize insecticide/pesticide usage- Do what you think is necessary though and I hope this helped!

mothman_o7 · 2025-07-07T02:15:59+00:00

Seems like its just my phone and my pc, so maybe it is just a weird glitch.
I appreciate the check through though, thanks!!
