Yeah I want to compete but I'm afraid of looking absolutely ridiculous.

I did a couple of contests in high school, one was a group all day contest that ended out horribly, got like 7th out of 11 schools, and it was so disappointing how much I didn't know yet, especially in design and modularizing (tasking a part for each person) since I was more for coding all myself at the time. Then another I got second and fourth for a library I created to communicate through a file with numerous peers and made games that it worked with.

But this is like insane, I just know some 12 year old would kill me, I hate that.
