I did shed at least 1 tear when our part went bad... stupid mill... never build mounts for the window motors and have a big mill mess them up! gahhhhhh at least there done now... thankfully.... hopefully nothing happens to them now. *knocks on wood*

another thing is when you take a day off robotics because youve gone to every single meeting since jan. and your dead... you spend your day looking at robotics websites and posting on yours... and e-mailing your mentor with ideas on things. *sigh* I'm a FIRST addict. after the competitions when we have some time off I think us FIRST addicts should get FA chips...

what's a Segway?

... when you know what Segway is
... when you know how "schwing" got started (not even Matt knows, that's bad, since he's the creator of the word)

When you walk into your dorm room and see 2 batteries, a charger, and a whole set of Pneumatics

When half your FIRST team has Mono, but you see them just as much as the people who don't

When in the last week you have slept more in the machine shop then in your bed

When your sparkies get angry at you for not waking them up to finish programming

When you get yelled at by the dean of engineering because you were testing on the new carpet

When exit numbers and mile markers on the thruway bring team names to mind

You spend your classes seeing who can name the most teams.............and between 2 people you can get over 150

When you make a list of reasons why you are addicated to FIRST on a 6 hour car ride home

You know you have been in robotics for too long..
When you start thinking there are 564 days in year....(My friend asked that in physics class)
When you know what your adviser thinks about in the shower(robotics)....
When your adviser asks if the gearboxes that came in the kit come apart 100 times...
When you drop the gearbox and it comes apart 100 times....
When you forget which way to turn a bolt and two other people are helping you.....
When you did not realize that C shaped aluminum and U shaped aluminum are the same thing......
When you have spent at least 200 dollars on books on robotics....
When you get catalogs bigger than any textbook in existence....
When you bring home the catalogs....
When your one friend that is not in robotics picks up your says,"Remind me to never pick up anything off your desk again."
When your grandma starts reading your brand new robotics book and says,"achooo achoo achoo."
When it is easier to take attendance by counting the days you missed....
When you dream about robotics...
when you pretend you are a robot...
When an engineer tells you never to hit the robot with a hammer unless you ask him first....
Hear is some funny ones:
When you start pointing out sterlite containers to your friends....
When the person that owns the sterlite container gives out the make and model number and then proceeds to ask,"Are you in robotics".....
When the principal knows you by your first name.....
When you realize that there are some things best unanswered like ^....
When your adviser has a tendancy to make sound effects when he starts describing what the robot will do.....
When you just realized that your post is not even related to the topic akkk......

When the only times you communicate with your husband are:
a) during dinner in the shop before you start work on the robot each night,
and
b) through notes left by the coffepot in the morning.

- You're state of mind is "there has to be a harder way to do this"
- You earn the nickname "Scooter" because you love Segways so much
- You stay up at night just to write P-Basic code
- You pray to the robot gods "just to make that !@#$%^&*() [insert troublesome part/code here] work

I've done both. It was fun!

-.- You have nothing else better to do, so you do the 2 above, and plus scream at your bot for being a bot
