Go to Post I haven't been negative about any FIRST game yet, but scaling and cleaning fish in 2009 that were used in 2008 is going to stink. Literally. :P - Billfred [more]

--even after your bot is finished, you still look for things you could put on the robot during the 12-hour pre-competition build.

--you proudly proclaim to your friends "robotics=life."

--your dad tries to get you look at the drivetrain on a battlebot and you refuse to watch.

--you don't want to miss school because it's important for you to be at every build session.

you know you're addicted to FIRST when..

..you start epoxying stuff to the ceiling wondering how long before the engineers see it.
..you show up at robotics but not school
..you are the science olympiad captain and absolutely HAVE to be at state, but still figure out a way to get from your regional to the state competition (it's gonna be one LOOOOONG 5 hour drive from evanston to bloomington, indiana.)
.. you begin to have crushes on guys just from reading what they post on chief delphi.
..you schedule everything around FIRST
..you begin to have crushes on the past drivers... wait, did i say begin? i meant you continue your obsession.
..you have broken parts off last year's robot on your wall.

I can attest to both of these. Monday, 9am I was out in Ypsi because they had the day off for presidents day. My school didn't though
Well, we had a nice blizzard that night so I stayed at a teamates house. (I have a 45 min drive home when the weather is good). So I wasn't at school tuesday either.

Monday & Tuesday
School: 0 Hours
Robotics: 23 Hours

-When your studying for a test and suddenly 'team building' exercises pop into your head
-Your entire life is a recruitment effort
-When you spend the two days off from school because of the huge blizzard working on the robot instead of playing in the snow (actually I played in the snow from 10pm to 3am so I wouldn't miss anything... college students took over the streets of Boston!)

*when your engineers give you the access code to the building-wide PA system and you start singing and giggling on it...because it's late enough that only robotics people will hear

*when you start comparing scratches

*when you get unreasonably ecstatic because the kids you mentor are happy because they just got dean to sign their shirts

*when you haven't spoken to your roommate in days because you haven't both been conscious and in the room at the same time

*when you have a category of mp3s called "robotics music"

*when you assign much added significance to programming terms

I really appreciate all of the sacrifices our families make to allow us to pursue this passion. It does get out of hand sometimes but I think FIRST is much more productive than so many other addictive passions.

Hahaha, we've done that before!

Student A: "Aww, look at this scratch!"

Student B: "Man, this one is bigger. I got this one from the gearbox last year. You know, before we filed the edges down?"

Student C: "You think that's bad? Here's my scar from when I put a screwdriver through my hand right before one of our matches - and I drove in that match too!"

Student D: "Ok, well here's where I almost cut my thumb off on the lathe."

Student A: "Oh, I remember that - was that the time you put electrical tape and paper towels around the cut and kept working?"

Student D: "One of the times, yeah."

All true stories!!

when u learned that some computers dont show team updates all the time...

when u drive to school for 45mins each way to go to that school because u moved to a new school district that didnt have FIRST.

when its the end of feb and ur still tired

when ur falling 1/2 of ur class's because u quit doing hw beacuse of lack of sleep.

when u can tell someone that on valentines day u worked on a robot until 4am.

when u volunteer at a lego league event and they tell u to dress in character, u dress in all denim

when u take ur robot to a middle school and break a shelf but are more worried about the robot

when u take the robot to a convention and talk about it as almost human.

For teams using aluminum extrusions, such as 80/20:

* ... and you know exactly where off the robot those drop in T-nuts came from...
