More reasons:
Falling asleep on the ramp (2003) because it looks comfortable

Organizing a weekend around getting 2-hour breaks for sleep during renders

babysitting your mentor's daughter and taking her to play on the 2003 ramp instead of the park because it's more fun

You forget the day of the week but not the status of the robot

you get 6 hours of sleep a day and it's called school

"It's the day after the thirteenth. I'm not sure what number that makes it" 'nuff said

"Please contact us when we can think in straight lines" too much said

You spend enough time soldering that you get high off the fumes

When you spend so much time soldering that you feel cold when you stop

When you know the location to get every part in the kit

When you use the animation computers as heaters

when 4 of your 5 boyfriends have been on FIRST teams

when you have your annual team hairdying outside in front of your robotics classroom

when you spend months planning hairstyles to have at competition
when you plan to spike 1.5 foot long hair

when you have a list of over 500 quotes from robotics team members
when you can quote over half of said list

when you go to other classes while wearing your safety glasses

when your cell phone has more parts companies than people on the contacts list

(collected from many GRT people)

few more...
When you ask the robot to sadies
When you ask the animation to sadies

When you contemplate making a weight loss video about your robot ("I lost 20lbs in 3 days!")
