Go to Post The key is to get the WHOLE TEAM to understand that you are designing and building a robot, which is a complete system - not just a collection of mechanical assemblies stuck together. - SteveGarward [more]

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

-When the only thing larger than your hard drive is your button collection.

-When you take off your saftey glasses and it feels like they're still on your face.

-When you wake up in the morning and realize that the robot that wasn't finished yesterday won't be finished today or the day after.

-When you lose your voice more than 6 times while cheering for your team or alliance.

-When you feel like your heart is going to stop because your team made it to the semifinals.

-You see nothing but a mill and random aluminum parts for 6 weeks starting in January.

-You can memorize team numbers from the alliances you were with last year (675, 670, 1120... 2006 "Aim High" Quarterfinalists, San Jose/Silicon Valley Regional)

-It's easier for you to remember FIRST team numbers or names than it is famous people or major "sports" teams.

-You think that FIRST (including FRC, FVC, and FLL) is the only real sport. (I think this because you actually have to work to get to compete, then you get to watch the fruits of your labor perform a challenge, plus all of the time and energy put in before the competitions even start.)

-You start seeing orange and black hats in your sleep. (Curse you, Team 100!)

-You begin to think up new, crazy strategies, and they comply with the FIRST rules.
