When you've named that set of allen wrenches, and claim that you have the one set of allen wrenches to rule them all.

...when you have a robot roll the white runner down the aisle (in autonomous mode, as soon as your Bride steps on the mat)

...when you say "I graciously accept your choice of me as an alliance partner" instead of "I do"

...when your wife understands all this, and loves you anyway.

My wife would have killed me.
Messily.:D

When you can look at a broken drill and can say,"I can fix that. All I need is a replacement chuck."
When you start taking home vacuum cleaners that were thrown out for the impellers.
When you understand why I need an impeller.

~When your non FIRST friends actually understand the significance of build, robots, and know your flight times for Houston... :)

~When your pit orquestra director doesn't knows why you're 45 minutes late to rehersal... and says nothing because he already assumes it must be robotics related... (Bowling with teams 245 and 201) :rolleyes:

~When your little brother builds a mini replica of the Stack Attack field with legos...yet you had no idea that he knew the dimensions...:p

-When you are on the computer and your parents ask "Are you on that $@#$@#$@#$@# robotics site?"

-You don't want to find the angle of accent of a triangle on paper, but you would willingly do it to the Stack Attack field.

-You wear your FIRST shirt when you go out of town to see if other teams there will see you.

-You ask your principle to make the school Segway friendly.

-You think about girls every 6 seconds, but robots every 2.

-Despite the fact you play video games, do homework, go to amusement parks, and go out with friends, you still spend an un-holy amount of time on robotics.

-Your ranking for collages is based on local FIRST teams.

-Your PDA has the whole Stack Attack rules on it in PDF form.

Wow, talk about harsh. Anyway...

...when your team captain tells you that he's looking for a song titled "SCREAM" on Kazaalite. Then later, you even do it yourself. :D

...when you're asked by your parents... "who are you talking to?" and you reply... "it's a message board" every single time you are seen on CD.

...when your optical mouse all of a sudden doesn't work while trying to post a message. (Did happen once)

-When you can correctly score a match long before the judges can and with complete accuracy (happened during most matches at New York :D )

-When you find yourself supposed to be researching a project at school and somehow end up on the Chief Delphi Forum

Elgin Clock 28-03-2003 17:42

Yeah.. I'd have to agree with ya' Scott.

FIRST is responsible for my procrastinator lifestyle when it comes to chosing between school work or workin on FIRST stuff. LOL

Powers 28-03-2003 17:47

When all you want to do is watch the CD forums all night long, even on weekends
