i'm right there with you. this is my FIRST year actively participating in FIRST. let me tell you i don't think i've EVER spent so much time whole-heartedly on any one topic in my life. Everyone thinks i'm crazy when my eyes are twitching and bloodshot and they ask me what i was doing and i say "programming".

The weirdest thing is, it's probably the source of ALL of my frustration these two months...and i still love it. Had i had the choice to take back all the rants, the sleep i lost, the times i've been yelled at or yelled at someone else, ANYTHING...i wouldn't. because FIRST is like that.

FIRST is just one of those competitions that no matter what, you end up getting sucked into it and catch yourself jumping up and down saying "OPEN! OPEN! LEFT! YES!!! WHOOOO" and do the little victory dance.
