You know you are addicted to FIRST if the only way you remeber your birthday is during build season is because of a ChiefDelphi forum posting!


(This is true ---- just ask Andy A.!!!!)

when you actually try to convince your friends (who by the way have absolutely no idea what a FESTO switch is) that is was nessicary to remove it and replace it.

O.K. You know you are addicted to FIRST when you write songs about being addicted to FIRST named "Addicted to FIRST."

I worte this last year:

With apologies to the late Robert Palmer:

Addicted to FIRST! (The Tune of Addicted to Love)

----------

Your lights are on, your voltage's low,
You can't get autonomous mode.
Your finger's twitch, your body aches
Another round is all it takes.

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another round is all you need.

Ohh oohh
you like to say that math and science are tough,
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
you know you're gonna have to face it
you're addicted to FIRST.

You see the score, but you can't read....
You're gearin' at the wrong speed.
You motors smoke, the belts they strip,
Don't get flip, you're losing grip, not hip.

You can't be saved....
Another round is all you crave
If there's some action left for you
You don't mind if you do

Ohh oohh
You like to say that math and science are tough,
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough,
you know you're gonna have to face it
you're addicted to FIRST

Might as well face it, you're addicted to FIRST(5x)

Your lights are on, but your voltage's low
You can't get remote control,
Your joystick's stuck, your feelings sink
Your drive trains lost another link.

Ohh oohh
you like to say that math and science are tough,
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
you know you're gonna have to face it
you're addicted to FIRST

Might as well face it, you're addicted to FIRST(5x)

when you have a button that says "I lost sleep for six weeks and all I got was this stupid BUTTON!" and you know how true that statement is. :D

maxgebhardt 26-02-2004 18:16

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
...when you actually made buttons of all the fortunes you have from chinese eaten during the build season since you got bored with making team buttons.

...when your bling is a 3/4" bolt on pneumatic tubing.

Between Tia126 and Mike M! :::: Here I thought I was the only one Talking to charging batteries. And Yes I still do. It's a bad habit when you throw one on charge and its the only one you got so you try and rush the charge by talking to the battery lol

Dr. Bot I think your addicted to FIRST more then I am. lol cool song.



...when you record the time it takes for the robot to start sending recieving messages and compare it to the equipment you use at work - not funny but its something I do when I get bored since the equipmemnts on a LAN type of network. hehe

This is for the alumni who are on teams and really don't build the robot anymore!

...When you go to work or school and during the 6 weeks of building your assignments for work or college are the hardest assignments of the year and after the 6 weeks you begin telling your self building a robot is not half as bad as doing all this paper work that gets shredded after a few yrs.


:D

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
...when your internet friends wonder where you've been for the last 6 weeks. And you find your self explaining how your highschool has a robotics team to about 29 people.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
when you go to shaws... see there of your teamates WHILE working (students and alumini) in a small circle talking about robotics while still on schedule

Phyz121 26-02-2004 23:38

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
When you see robot design ideas in the weirdest things/places (ie: my dogs playing in the yard....odd, but true.)

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
When you've got the second most hours during build season of all the students on the team and it's only your second year on the team the only student ahead of you is the team president who is a senior.

When you say "I'm management" on the second day of build and it not only sticks with you the rest of build but you get a button that say "I'm management" on it.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
when your current mood (whatever it may be) always has something to do with robotics, so that wherever you are (ie: Webster Hall...hee hee, yeah, it's true) and someone asks you how you are, you have to go into explaining about robotics to get them to understand ...at least slightly...what you're feeling. (I managed to get a few more people interested in participating in FIRST this way)
