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

When you feel like taking a shopping cart and adding the new system to it and submitting it as your robot for the year.
(Not that I've done that... yet)

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

When you ask your mentor's if you can take home the new control system home over the break to work on it.

And they let you.

That's pretty freakin' awesome!!! Fortunately, our mentor convinced the school to give us two meetings during the break.

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

. . .When the robot attacks you in your nightmares

. . .Whenever you try to make a decision, Dean Kamen and Woody Flowers pop up on either shoulder

. . .When you start to talk in C++

. . .When you ask for "the strippers" you mean THE TOOL.

. . .You stay up till 3 in the morning working on the bot... WHEN IT'S ALREADY DONE- Random Thoughts from Joe

. . .You spend more time working on the robot than wth your own girlfriend or boyfriend

. . .When the show "Robot Wars" isn't as cool as it used to be

. . .When you smack someone because they called your bot "it"

. . .When the Robotics Competition is more important to you than the Super Bowl

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

-you stay home sick from school but manage to push yourself out of bed and go back at the end of the day to build the robot
-when you had a day where you didn't do any work and still called it productive
-when you could less about your grades and worry about getting the bot shipped in time for the deadline
-what other people would call "social issues" become obsolette

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

...your local hungry howie's knows your saturday order....and your sunday order..before you call them

...you talk about Woodie Flowers and Dean kamen constantly and get frustrated when you realize people actually DON'T know who they are

...your best friend stops asking you to hang out during build season because she know there is no chance of you saying yes

...when you can say what FIRST stands for in less than four seconds

...all you dream about is robotics practice (and they arent good dreams..its the dreams that you cant figure out the problem is and its competition day!)

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

~ you've always got band-aids on your hands
~ you've got bruises from dropping metal on your foot, or being hit with something
~ you've broken a nail from accidentally sanding your fingernail, or trying to rip out stubborn staples
~ you've got sawdust all over your clothes and shoes
~ you think little wrenches and lockwashers are adorable
~ you must think before you speak or else someone will respond with "that's what she said!"
~ there are so many "dirty" words that make you laugh: balls, nut, lubricant, rod, noodle, etc...

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

One of your text templates on your phone is "Are you coming in to Robotics today?"

Your top friends on myspace are all people from robotics.... and your school friends are complaining.

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

You go home and think about how to make your robot better.

You go to work and think about how to make you robot better.

You write really long E-mail's to you mentor outlining a modification because you won't see them that day.

You come up with names like "The Shumper"

You refuse to stop practicing until the robot doesn't move.

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

when you think your safety glasses look good on you (mine actually do)
when you could go home but decide to wait for something to do.
when you know the answer before you finish hearing the question
when you think girls holding screwdrivers are sexy

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

When Thursday means the first day of your first regional, not the 19th.
When you have mastered the art of pretending to work on the robot and show it proudly when the TV camera is rolling
