Everybody is different, but I can tell you about some of our experience. Our 12th grader decided to stop participating in the robotics team after 3 years. The main reason was that his interests shifted and he became busy with a number of other activities. He didn’t even list the past robotics involvement in his college application, because it was no longer relevant. Our 10th grader recently decided to stop doing robotics, mainly because of the lackluster support from the high school for this team. He may still be interested in STEM, but he is looking at focusing on other EC’s. If the team was properly supported and staffed by the HS, he may have stayed on. If your team has good support and you think that you are learning, developing, and enjoying yourself, try to continue. You may think differently 2 years from now. Or you may want to major in theater, who knows
