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

[Joe J.]

When you spend your whole electronics class reading Chief Delphi.

When you want to smack people on your team for not knowing what Chief Delphi is.

When people say they don't need to check the team website because you tell them everything thats going on anyway.

[littleelectron]

you get mad at anyone who thinks your robots only goal is to beat on other smaller roobots...

when you spend more time at the workshop than you do at home.

when you yell at someone for not checking the post he never made on chief delphi.

[Spikey]

Your GPA drops ten points, and you eat more pizza in a month then you do in a whole year!

so far the cheapest custom lense offer I've found is $450-$650 per pair depending on size, detail...etc etc etc.



~when you have a dream that you're running for president, and your whole campaign speach revolves around the theme of robotics and FIRST (somehow it made sense in the dream too....)

[Alaina]

When you don't mind eating pizza after working with chain without washing your hands, yet you wash your hands after eating becuase you don't want to get pizza grease on the chain.

when the generic response to absolutely any question asked to you throughout the day is "Robots".

So, Anthony, what're you doing?
Robots.

Whatcha got for lunch, pal?
Robots.

How're you?
Robots.

It all makes sense, in some strange, sick, twisted way.

... Moving 2 hours away from where you grew up is suddenly made easier by the realization that you know most of your friends through FIRST, you only talk to them online (for the most part), they live scattered across the country, and you only get to see them once or twice a year anyway!

- when you give up playing ddr for 6 weeks
-when your only friends are in the robotics group
-When you read through this thread and on 99% of them you say, "Hey thats me!"
-When you get sick of pizza.

When doing chemistry problems, one of your answers turns out to be 3.65L, that's including correct significant figures!

[Pierson]

You and your whole team knows which Cell Phone Services work in which aisles of Home Dept and when you tell someone who is out on a hardware run, "Don't go down that aisle or you will loose your signal."

~when even sheer luck leads to robots. ie: when you're walking in the parking deck to your car, and you see a button (something you collect) so you pick it up, when you notice it reads "This Robot Kills" (it's so purty! green background with black lettering. I'll cherish it forever!)

[Jim McGeehin]

Lime green jersey, black pants, and a bandana is a fashion statement
It no longer shocks you to sleep 2 hours
You can recite from memory the "Why FIRST is not Battle-bots" spiel
You ask everyone in a blue shirt to see your robot.

[blindguyinanorg]

...you wash your hands BEFORE you go to the bathroom not after.

--when you traval 205 miles every weekend to be on a first team
