You know when the season is over....
....when you see the Building 19 (http://www.building19.com/07_big.jpg) ad.
:(
(Building 19 is a Boston area retail store that sells salvage, close-outs, and general left-overs. Yes, they had several boxes of them, still in plastic wrap, at the Norwood store, including a few with the -ahem- non-profit organization's name on them.)

True. I always have awesome ideas when the season is over. Seeing the game being played, and seeing all the other robots acts as a catalyst for new creative designs that you hadn't thought of before.

So you bought them all, right?

wait a sec... it says the robots weren't popping the tubes... I can think of a few hundred counterexamples to that sitting in a pile at championships...
You know the season's over when game pieces are being used for their original everyday purposes :p

You know the season is over when you're bored if there aren't off-season activites. :(

It also says they were used in water exercises.
wait a sec...
It also says the robots had to run water exercises. They must have been thinking of next year's challenge. :D
I already told them, so do not do the same. (GP and all, remember?) No answer yet, but it's <24 hours. They're a good store, and have humorous ads.

Just one, a red one that had some "non-profit organization"'s name all over it, to remind me of the many hours programming autonomous.
What, you think I got a pool or something?

I think it's funny that they are "1st quality", not great or another adjective. Pun intended?

It's a cool store to poke around if you've got the time. They recently did a closeout of a science teacher supply store and I had a blast looking at all the beakers, dioramas, etc.
However, I have this annoying unconscious habit of showing up at Building 19 on the 19th of the month, which is "Building 19 Day" - during its grand fiesta of all that is Building 19. I only realize that I've walked in again on the 19th once I'm in the store.
(For you CT-ites, Building 19 is the equivalent of Ocean State Job Lot, with more amusing advertising.)

wait... the season is over?!?! :ahh: :eek:
Wow,
The write up on the tubes is priceless. Apparently whatever organization this was had a water game. Perhaps FIRST should look into this organization's implementation of such a competition and work on finally giving the FIRST community what it wants, a water game. Does anyone know which organization they are talking about? This seems like just the type of thing that L.A.S.T. (Lunatics Against Science and Technology) might try to pull off.
Just curious,

Just like football season, the FIRST season is never over. You take a couple of weeks off maybe, but then you get right back into it, sharpening everything for the next competition all over again.
CAD doesn't learn itself ;)
You know the season is over when...
...you go to the kickoff event for the next season's game.

While not FIRST, here is a water game that is very well run and pretty cool. go to http://www.h2orobots.org . My team went to the first event and had a blast!

when you log in to delphi in the morning and make a post, only to go back that night and check for replies and find that not only are there no replies, but your still number 5 in recent activity

You know the season (and practically your part-time high school career) is over when you first were thinking about graduation, and then pondering what you are going to do with those two years at community college... struggling to make time to leave the team some notes on what to do to make the team better.
I tell you this much: it sort of sucks to be a graduated senior from a robotics team that you had so much fun with over 4 years, and saw grow from your freshman year. *tear*
Otherwise, I must say, welcome to the 2007-2008 FLL, FVC, and FRC season folks. It's game time! :D

you know when the season has been over for a while and you are tired of last years bot and you are itching to build a new one.

When you get home and there is still enough daylight to mow the yard.
You are watching the 5 PM news instead of the 10 PM news while eating dinner.
You trip over your toolbox while walking though the garage.

you know the first season is over...
...when the autonomous works.
what exactly does harry potter have to do with first?
...when you find yourself wearing a robe and a square hat. (Graduation) :(
It is the saddest thing of all to know that I will be leaving and not coming back to Quixilver for a very, very long time. Oh, of course I'll visit, but it is a game that I need to let go and move on.
FIRST has given thousands of young people (like me) a head start in life because it teaches honesty, integrity, and an appreciation of other people's hard work.
FIRST tricks you into using your brain on a regular basis. ;)

Alright, after reading the thread it is apparent that building 19 changed the image from the ad that was up on that site does any one have it saved so it could be uploaded?
Also were the tubes available at all locations, alot of times when they get smaller amounts of things they cant be found every where. Well seeing that their is a building 19 about 3 blocks from my house I should probably check either way.

And when you talk to FIRST friends as to why there is lack of action on CD in the offseason and try to think of ways to get more action during offseason.

wait... the season is over?!?! :ahh: :eek:
It's not easy for me to say i'm on the "off season". I can't force myself to say it because my mind is still in the "on season" and unless I lose my memory or die, I really don't see any way for it to change. Basically, First succeeded. :p

Thanks. I was completely lost till I saw that sentence.

I could see Quidditch being turned into a FIRST game in the future. ;)
