This relates to the CeBit Exhibition show happening in NYC May 25 - May 27.

......when the few kids that do shop up to represent the FIRST org, their school, and their robotics team, you give them all field resetting duties just so u (meaning me) can play with the music, field control, scoring part of the matches. hehe I gotta have some experience before 2005 gets here. I may want to field control NJ and NY. :cool:

.......after attending the said program you go to work in Team attire where everyone looks at you strange

.......you purposely stay up 51+ hrs just so u can attend the said program

.......you notice that this thread was brought back to life by a member who cares about this threads well being :o)

.......you tell your ex that your going to a family gathering when its really a FIRST Competition. Well it is family isn;t it lol [ I know Shame on me, She still loves me <3 ]

.. when you are upset because this thread isnt on the first page anymore

.. when you have already planned for next year's nationals

.. when your nails are always painted red, blue, or white for FIRST (not me .. but right now they are alternating red and blue because of the Wonderland event)

... when you only where blue squares, silver hoops, or red triangles as earrings (also not me .. though i do have the squares and hoops, and made the triangles out of some duct tape .. and at the Canadian regional i linked them all together and wore them)

.. when you volunteer at the Wonderland FIRST event even though you have an ISU worth 10% of your mark and a test on Monday, an ISU essay and an ISU presentation each worth 10% of your mark and a test on Tuesday, a quiz and essay on Wednesday, a quiz and in-class essay on Thursday, and an exam on Friday.
