Insiya Bambot

was a freshman when she joined robotics.

What Got You Involved in the Team?
I actually wanted to try Robotics in middle school, since I liked to build things and see how the individual parts fit together (I didn't turn in the application, so I didn't join then).

Who is Your Role Model?
I don't have a specific role model, but if I had to pick someone I admired, it would be my older sister. She always encourages me to try new things, even things she's not comfortable with herself. She's always giving me advice and is the perfect person to to talk to when I just want to get my thoughts organized.

What are Your Future Career Plans
I want to pursue a career in Information Technology or Graphic Design for video games.

Interests or Hobbies
I usually watch anime or read manga whenever I'm not doing homework or doing chores, and I also learn Japanese as a self-learner. Occasionally, I do crafts like sewing or origami.

What Other Groups/Clubs Are You Involved In?
I'm also in Yoga Club, but the list ends there, since Robotics takes up a good amount of my time outside of school.

What Are Your Dreams In Life?
My biggest dream is live in Japan someday and live happily with my two kids.

Favorite Robotics Quote
Why did the programmer quit his job? He wanted arrays.

Favorite Robotics Moments
The best robotics moment for me was being the Driver Coach at my first VEX competition, because I could help my team and our robot advance all the way to the finals and solve problems (like a trapped buckyball under the arms) for the Drivers, who already had enough on their hands (like a controller :) )
