when all of the picture thats come up in your Timehop around this time are of robots, building, or competitions.
when you realize you have been on 5 different teams in varying positions and that you dragged your whole family into it.
when you post more for the teams facebook than for your own
when you tell everyone at work you cant go out because "I have robots"
when you buy a new camera for the sole purpose of taking pitures at competition because when you print phone pictures out for the chairmans binder they arent as good quality wise.
when you start to think of your car as roboto transportation instead of a way to get around.

Just to name a few.
