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

You know that you're Passionate about FIRST when:
(All of which I've seen from one or more of the college advisors on Team 461)

1. You come back from Winter vacation early to prepare for the kickoff.
2. You make a choice after your sophomore year that you'd be best off spending at extra year at college (and paying the out of state tuition) so that you can lighten your load and be more accessible FIRST mentor.
3. You spend time in professors office hours getting ahead on material so that you can apply it to a design.
4. You realize that your 21st birthday will occur during the last week of the build season this year, and it doesn't annoy or bother you.
5. When you put into your weekly schedule two all-nighters per week.
6. You take as a loss some future job opportunities by taking a .4 or .5 lower GPA than you're capable of in hopes that you're practical design and leadership experience will shimmer in your resume brighter than the magic number.

...when your english teacher yells at you cause you capitalize the word FIRST everytime you write it, even when its not robotics related...

Thats all for now

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

......when you read through all fifty pages of these (in one sitting, mind) and STILL have something to write....

......when you note a lack of teachers to continue the team, go to a local college and become a mentor for the team, schedule your classes so that you can be available seven days a week for robotics......and spend the first day of your winter break at said school planning robotics........

......when you design your team's shirt with 15000 digits of pi on it, because your team number appears three times in those digits......

......when you realize that you've been staring at CD for hours and haven't gotten up - or eaten - or anything else - and it isn't even the build season yet.....

......when you make up an AIM screen name with both your robot name AND number in it.....and use it.......

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

-When you pass up a chance to go to Italy with your school because you wouldn't be able to go to Nationals.

-When you get in trouble in class for turning around every 5 minutes to the fellow team member behind you when you see a 3/4 digit number to ask...wait what team is that??

-When you completley ignore a review for finals to read this entire list.

Everytime someone comes out with a 'What's Next Year's Game' topic, I can create an equallly odd, interesting, and totally different game for each thread.

There's a possibility it's been said and I've missed it (this thread is huge), but...
