--you can talk to a bunch of 8 year olds and their parents (i.e., the kids probably can't multiply!!) and make them explain why you are knocking bins down, why you want them stacked up, and why you want some bins on the other side too. and they actually understand. sort of.
--teachers at school know that for six weeks out of the year you will do nothing even remotely resembling homework, and still give you As. Even though this is your first time in their class...they just heard it through the grapevine. (omg, who's old enough to remember that song??)
--every person that walks into the office that you work at when you're not at FIRST walks out with a deeper knowledge of robots and dean kamen.
--your coworkers at aforementioned office are shocked -- and reward you -- when the phrase "
it's not battlebots!! " does not come out of your mouth at least 3 times a day.
--best non-FIRST friend dis-owns you...again, and you don't care, because you have the robot.
--you hug your robot, and nobody laughs at you.
--you tell your friends that someone tried to run you over with the robot, and everyone asks is the robot is okay.
