When you had a nightmare (last night) about being the only member of your team at a competition at the time of your first match and you have to drive the robot by yourself. (And you aren't usually the driver.)

...When you read through the entire thread on bad pickup lines in Chit Chat

...When your sad because you had to miss the fourth of july parade where your team was marching because you were on vacation

...your relatives can now tell you exactly how long a chairmans submission must be, what the woodie flowers award is, who won it on your team, all of the awards your team has won, what HOT stands for, what FIRST stands for, how long build season is, what your standings were at regionals, and can recite those facts off the top of their heads when asked. then they shoot me a dirty look for rambling about FIRST again .

...when everything goes back to robotics, no matter what your talking about

...when you start taking pictures of 67's, just for fun.

When a good portion of your friends on Facebook have a status that involves IRI in some way...

When you get a letter from someone who isn't going to have power until the end of August, and they ask for a summary on IRI because they know you're gonna watch the web cast ::cough :: Kayla13 :: cough ::

[Libby K]

when you're working at FIRST Place, with Julia [see above]

and you find this year's FRC Regional Operator/Championship Operator/Safety Captain badges,

...you root through them to find teams you & julia were just talking about,

and you & julia think about making a thread on CD with "pm me if you want your team's badges"

....and then you incorporate that into a thread that's pretty unrelated.

[we were told to "throw them out" and i couldn't bring myself to do it.]
