-You tell your friends you can't go get food with them because you need to go to robotics... only to realize 5 minutes after they left that the season ended and there was no meeting.

Shame on you. Wasting an extra byte when you could have used a char.

.. when some one is talking about how your left hand is linked to the right side of the brain and your right hand is linked to the left side of the brain .. and all you can think about is "the wires on our motors are crossed"

When somebody says "2 plus 2 is 5 for large values of 2" and it takes you a moment.

When you go to other messageboards and your avatar, signature and a good portion of your posts are all FIRST based. :D

- you don't have enough to do after build season, so you organize a scouting team that meets as much as the team did during the actual season.

We'll see how that turns out :)

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 
- When over half your laundry consists of: your team shirts, other teams shirts, and various FIRST apparel.
- dinner table discussion is: ideas for the robot, how to make a part work, and how to improve next year.
- Going home sick from school then coming back to do FIRST.
- When Word automatically capitalizes the word FIRST.
- When literally blood sweet and tears go in to the robotics season.
- your boyfriend feels he’s lost your to it.

When you don't go anyplace for spring break and live in Indiana so you make another robot in a week with lots of battery power. :D

  • When you scour myspace all night looking for FIRST members / groups
  • When you actually have a friend from another team who is called (your name) 2.0 (for example, my friend from 234 is called Jill 2.0)
  • When you hear about a city you automatically think about what teams are from that area.
  • You talk to your FIRST friends about what I'd be like to have a robotics wedding together complete with a flowergirl robot with a pneumatics to throw flower petals and a ring bearer with a fork lift design to carry the pillow
  • You decide that when you and said FIRST friend have kids (after the robo wedding) you will name them after either parts of the robot/game or after the playing fields at Championship
  • You get really bummed during the summer because you miss robotics
  • Everytime you see something about a robot your heart skips a beat
  • When you see someone not on a robotics team talking about robots like experts or just because they think robots are the new cool thing, you get angry
  • You can bring robotics into ANY conversation.
  • When your chemistry teacher tells you to make as many words from the word, "THERMOCHEMISTRY" you write "M.O.E."


Of course, all of these apply to me. Ha.
