When you're in a hotel room the night before the Saturday competition day with a group of eight talking about robotics for 5 hours straight until 3 in the morning. We were seriously having a "girl talk" about robotics... lol.

When frustration kicks in due to the robot, you chew on a zip tie.

When other teams come by the pit to ask about the robot, you don't notice that you have said zip tie in your mouth.

When members of your team pester the DJ into playing the Chicken Dance at competition.

When you hear the chicken dance, you automatically know your team is out there on the field and run off to join them.

When you say that you're going to sleep in the car on the way home from a competition because you're tired and yet you stay awake talking about robotics with the other people in your car.

When your choice of college all depends on whether or not your receive one of the scholarships offered through FIRST.

When graduating becomes really hard because you might be going out of state and will be away from your team.

When you say "Oh well, I'll be joining another team though." and yet think that it's not going to be the same on another team.
