.......when you start using the official FIRST logo as a wallpaper for any electronic device.

mobile phone, computers, any program that uses a wallpaper.


.......when you go to an FLL competition to do a volunteer referee job and you wear your team colors thinking your heading to and FRC competition.

~you consider getting custom made contact lenses with the FIRST logo in them...and the only reason you don't go through with it is because you don't have the money for it. (that upset me greatly)

When the first thing you do when you get home from camping is check your team's website then check Chief Delphi.

When neither ice, snow, nor the weather channel can keep you from making a two hour drive home to work 23 hours on a robot on Friday and Saturday.

When you have to finish something before you go home means your not going home.

When your best accomplishment happen at 1:30 am and either there is no camera, not enough people to take a picture or you take a picture and you forgot your safety glasses...retake.

When you go on a six week streak of always noticing your team number before you go to bed (11:08).

Studying for Chem 2 involves putting the book in front of you and reading CD.
