Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

5? FIVE????

We used to play a game where 2 people competed to name more teams by name and number. Last time we played I lost to my roomie Chris 85-90.
That's a lot of teams.

I think we should have higher standards than 5.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

85-90? That's nuthin, wussies.

two WEEKS? Child's Play! Try Two MONTHS! :)

Edit: You might be a FIRSTer if 80% of your day consists of thinking of Robots, 10% of it thinking about girls, 5% of it doing real work, and another 5% trying to think of how much of your day revolves around Robots.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

If you've yelled at above person multiple times for not saving you the receipts.

If someone who's known you at least 6 months points out that they've never seen you in anything other than robotics clothes, or sweatshirts over robotics clothes.

If you walked around school wearing price tags that say "4.69" all day, despite the crazy people who actually seem to think you're selling yourself for "4.69".

If more than half of all these post apply to you.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

If you go up to some random person in a tie-dyed shirt and ask them when they were in WildStang. (I was actually about to do this once :yikes: )

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

You see a neon green shirt and automatically assume that it's MOE or M'Aiken Magic.

(I add M'Aiken Magic due to proximity here. And I bumped into a girl from there the other day waiting for breakfast.)

.. when building a catapult for physics and you only have two weeks to do it .. you leave it most of it to the last weekend and because your group is all in your robotics you talk about how it is exactly like the last couple days in build season

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

More than 10?? Wow.. that's a low goal.

What about 1000 or 2000?


My turn.

You know you're addicted to FIRST when you get excited finding FIRST stuff on ebay. (Unless it's your limited edition team pin - :()

You know you're addicted to FIRST when you wear WD-40 as aftershave.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

.... you have so many FIRST t-shirts that when you tried to squeeze in the latest one and hang it in the closet, the closet rod actually broke and spilled them all on the floor.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

- you beat David Kelly at the Highway FIRST Game (pick out road signs, billboards, and license plates with FIRST numbers... and I kicked his butt).
- you go on what's supposed to be a relaxing roadtrip, and instead end up filing robot parts.
- you have random robot parts, shifters, and allen wrenches lying around your living quarters, even if you rarely help build the actual robot.
- you have no time to sleep, you consider yourself wayyyyy past the burnt out stage, you struggle through everything, you barely make time for 'real life' and do your grocery shopping at 3-4 am, and yet you still come back to CD and FIRST everytime.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

Who needs a closet? Wear them all at the same time!

... you might be a FIRSTer if,

You wear 17 different FIRST shirts, while m/c'ing at a FIRST competition.

You know you're addicted to FIRST when you want a FIRST themed Monster House. :cool:

Wow! :ahh: Someone hit the nail right on the head. (Supermarkets are not busy that time of night though, so it's cool - No waiting in lines at the checkouts.)

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

You see the year in four sections... "pre-build", "build", "competition", and "off season" instead of the 12 months.

[PS-You know FIRST is cool when someone in Coalwood, WV notices a crew shirt under your raincoat and you get into a conversation about robotics and FLL which ends with them telling you to apply to work with/for them in AL (U.S. Space Camp Baby!!!)... and yup I'm doing the paperwork now.]

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

When you resurrect this thread!

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

You talk too much about your team, the game, FIRST, all things robot related to co-workers who really only asked how things are going just to be polite. But you don't care that they are just being polite because they just gave you the opportunity to talk about something you love. So you go on and on and on and on and on and on even though you see their eyes glazing over and you know it's not right to make someone's eyes glaze over (not to mention it's a pretty creepy site) but there is a small part of you that is convinced that there is no way they could not love it too so you continue to go on and on and on and on and on...

yup us too!! i just wish the plastic stuff was juuust a bit more smaller. the thing itself was tiny but where the shoelaces go through was too big. it was annoying while running for me. rc cars have been using them alot but for a cc meet it was interesting. too bad they didnt get the split times.

You come to school on a snow/fog day just to work on the robot

When you haven't seen sunlight for six weeks, because you go to school before sun up and return home after sun down

You start obsessing about Robots even in you dreams.

You stop shaving because you would rather spend that time on the robot

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

Sorry, sure some of the others of you can relate out there but I have too.....

seriously, i am at the school on a saturday as i am typing this. :eek:

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...

I don't think that's something unusual, since our team meets every weekday and Saturday as well.

You might be a FIRSTer if... all during science fair you're looking at your watch to see when the doors to the robotics meeting room will open so you can get to work.

-you have gone to school without sleeping becuase it was ship-day.
-you have put in over 12 consecutive hours at robotics meetings (it's fun!).
-during the middle of class you whip out some paper to sketch out an idea you just got.
-two of your classes are dedicated to robotics (metal fab and engineering design! hell yea! gotta love a flexible school :cool:)
-you build robots for fun in the off season.
-you have enough equipment to build a competeition legal bot in your basement (well, almost comp-legal, hehe).
-you can use a bridgeport or lathe while sleeping and not hurt yourself.
-you proudly display your 5 latest injuries and, despite playing a varisty sport, you can attribute them all to robotics.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

Only 2? I have one class but it is 3 periods or classes long everyday. 3 hours a day plus meetings. Yeah I think Im a FIRSTER

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

... you insist on getting your work schedule altered so that you can continue going to meetings

... when you learn that one class you're required to take next semester runs at the same time as meeting, you already start calculating how late you can be to class without getting in trouble (and also plan on talking to the teacher to see if you can work something out)

... no matter who you are talking to and no matter what the subject you start with, somehow you always manage to turn it into a discussion about robotics.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

... you can qoute the dimesions of each piece of the chassis before it was welded, and the final dimensions after, from memory.

... you hope for days off for light snow so that Robotics gets a whole day, and not just the meeting after school.

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

You actually enjoy going to meetings on Saturday (ours on Saturday go from 8 AM to 4 or 5 PM).

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...

... when all the "family" pictures on your computer are Robotics related and neither you or your family are in over 90% of them.

... your nails look like you've been digging into mud with your hands and you're either too tired or too lazy to clean them up. :(

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

you might be a DIE HARD FIRSTER if you get caught sneeking into your house at 12:30 in the morning 2 days before ship with 1/2 inch bolts sticking out of your pokets. (true story, got my guitar taken away! :( )

Re: You might be a FIRSTER if...
 

You learn that homework is done best at 2 AM in the morning.
You worry more about robotics then your Honors English assignments.
