You know its off season because you have not only written January 2006 on your arm, but you spend most of your free time reading archived FIRST workshops and chief delphi white papers.

Re: You know it is off season because...
 

you're...

• doing lots of fundraisers to start raising money for expenses throughout the upcoming year (aka CAR WASHES!!!)
• recruiting new members
• trying to reorganize your team early on to make it more efficient
• working with the community to raise FIRST awareness new creative and innovative ways :D
• actually able to have some sort of a life

You know it is off season beacause you, as a programmer, are no longer thinking green. Even more important, camera problems are no longer being discussed on a daily basis. Capping the center of anything is only being discussed around the fire pits of American campgrounds and not really on these forums anymore. The season is now a legendary story that you can tell your friends, buddies, relatives, and anyone else.

In short, you can tell it is off season because FIRST robotics has gone into hibernation for the summer. Get the rest you want and need, and just enjoy the break. :cool:

(For anyone in Holland,MI)
You know it is off season (especially the beginning of off season) because you start counting down the days till you have to lock yourself in your house to avoid tourists coming for the Tulip Time Festival.

...you accidentally said "Cyu tomorrow" on Friday, thinking there was robotics tomorrow - and there wasn't
