 FIRST isn't about building robots. I know. But I also know that Inspiration comes in a lot of flavors and I, for one, believe it is a lot easier to inspire my kids when we set "playing after lunch on Saturday" as a worthy team goal. - Joe Johnson [more] |

Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
Note before reading: this is obviously a joke, no such thing as RAhS
Robotics After-hours Syndrome (RAhS) is a recently discovered disease that is baffling scientists everywhere. While the symptoms are easy to spot, a permanent cure has not yet been discovered. Some symptoms include, but are not limited to:
More information on this disease can be found at http://rahs.tk If you have identified any RAhS-like symptoms, please contact us via this thread so other robotics participants can be diagnosed and, hopefully, cured.

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
Is it bad that I fit all the symptoms besides the wanting to kill programmers one?

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
How about spending another 2 hours on CD after a 16 hour robotics shift?

Is falling behind on school work also a symptom? That's what I'm experiencing right now

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
How about naming the minibot after a guy who you met at a Taco Bell during MARC?
Or constantly quoting Office Space? Or singing the same songs for the past 6 weeks? Or going up behind a programmer working on his laptop and going "Soooooo whatcha doin'?" Last edited by Pirkey : 16-02-2012 at 09:48.

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
Public Service Announcement:
Pressing the spacebar when the robot is enabled isn't nearly as funny the forty-second time. On an unrelated note: Has anybody seen our programmer? He was last sighted walking southbound in the rain, his laptop tucked under his arm, grumbling to himself.

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
How about complaining that your actual professional engineering job is getting in the way of robotics?

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
How about willing to walk a mile through the snow to reach a 3 hour build session? Or writing love poetry to your robot on Valentines Day? Or when you wake up one morning, in your bed, wearing safety goggles?

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
Complete absence of or recollection of the last time sleep was a mandatory activity, while carefully balancng excessivly long raw materiel in the last bit of space that is not occupied by WIP.
Complaints about how 42 is NOT the answer. A burning desire to see a contraption thrown thrown together in six weeks work better than many years of proven expectations.

Another symptom: dreading the end of build season. Are we gluttons for punishment, or what?

Re: Raise Awareness for Robotics After-hours Syndrome
I will be adding some of these to the website later tonight. Because you know, build session.
Edit: The site's been updated with more symptoms and photographic evidence. Last edited by kobitate94 : 17-02-2012 at 01:56.
