I think that my aunt wins the "Honorary FIRST addict award." She wanted me in her wedding so badly, she scheduled her wedding around Championship 2007. Love you Aunt Tracey!

PS. Yeah, she's getting a t-shirt...

[Edit] And scheduled her shower around West Michigan...

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 

Hahaha I wish my aunt was that great... I'm missing her wedding 'cause it's on kickoff... but I think I will drive the four hours to get there in time for the reception...

... you are in Engineering class and the teacher says, "Then, after the groups compete and a top person emerges, the top 8 will be seeded accordingly." And you ask, "Will there be alliances?"

Whenever anything looks like it might be a projectile, you suggest safety glasses. (or is that only safety captains)

You are usually somewhat of an introvert, but scream at the top of your lungs during a robot match

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 

...You ask your Chem teacher if safety glasses will work instead of the stupid goggles you're required to wear during labs.
...You tell said Chem teacher that you'll bring in "a few pairs" so she can tell you which would be best for the labs.
...Your purse you bring to homecoming has a team 22 safety sticker on it.

...when you're sitting in class with your laptop out and you're surfing CD because you're bored.

you know your'e addicted to FIRST when...

- you try to make a flash game involving all the robots that were made, in a head to head combat.(that would be cool though!)

- you know the profiles of every team intentionally(without it being your job), and know their history, and everything about their bots.

- you get into a fight with another guy who says something wrong about FRC

- you don't talk to your friend anymore because he/she gave someone else wrong info about first by accident

- you yell at your teacher because he/she spelled FIRST, not in capital letters lol!

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...
 

...Your favorite jeans have Liquid Nails (or PVC glue, I can't tell) on them; and that's why they're your favorite jeans

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

The thing is, I was stuck to them too...

-you have wondered if you could program a member of your family
-you have started to write said program
