[Jonathan M.]

...when your team gets their picture in the paper, to spread the word about this small town robotics team that many didn't know existed.

...when people ask you what sport you play you answer "I build robots."

...when you aren't offended by the following: Geek, Nerd, Wierdo, and or Loser.

...when you spend hours thinking up new ways to make your teams Logo better!

...when you find your self explaining the game rules to each class you are in, on the first day back from a regional.

...when you get mad that teachers haven't even seen the robot and dismiss it as hard work, worthy of being so tired. Until finally after much argueing you drag them down to see the robot and they are so shocked and amazed that the next day they let you dose off and sleep in class.


...when you've talked to your really cool FIRST girl for the last time before she goes off to Nationals and you know that she will have fun.

...when you wish you could be with her. But since you can't you're going to be watching the web cast and chearing for her team like Mad!

...when you know that when you see her again, you'll be the happiest person in the entire world. . . Ever!

...when she understands that those 6 weeks of building time is important because she has to deal with it too, and shes not mad that you aren't around that often!
