-If at 10:30 pm you finally have the robot packed up then go to Shari's to celebrate and you chug a jumbo milkshake and your friend tries to eat a whole lemon marang pie and only eats half and doesn't touch the marange.
-If the day after a major work day half the team sleeps and the other half works.
-If every finger on both your hands have been either gashed, smashed, burned or, blister due in some way to the robot.
-If you deburr your finger instead of your work piece(I slipped)
-If every minute you have off during school is spent in the shop on the robot.
-If you you have welded, made, fixed, or designed every part on the entire robot at least twice.
-If you have one person designated to search through the phone book calling every single restaurant and asking for donations of food each and every day.
-If you had to fix and or setup a milling machine, lathe, drill press, and welder so that you can make your robot.
-If you sit down and measure every part of the robot with a scale that is accurate to the 100th of an inch and obsess be cause two parts that are supposed to match are off by 5 100ths.
-If after the robot is shipped your mentor and you can't decide whether to make a cart, ommniwheels, a shift on the fly transmission, or a Continuously variable transmission.

Oh wait I think these things sound familiar...

Nahh!

Good luck to everyone at their regionals!!
