Falling asleep on the ramp (2003) because it looks comfortable

Organizing a weekend around getting 2-hour breaks for sleep during renders

babysitting your mentor's daughter and taking her to play on the 2003 ramp instead of the park because it's more fun

You forget the day of the week but not the status of the robot

you get 6 hours of sleep a day and it's called school

"It's the day after the thirteenth. I'm not sure what number that makes it" 'nuff said

"Please contact us when we can think in straight lines" too much said

You spend enough time soldering that you get high off the fumes

When you spend so much time soldering that you feel cold when you stop

When you know the location to get every part in the kit

When you use the animation computers as heaters

when 4 of your 5 boyfriends have been on FIRST teams

when you have your annual team hairdying outside in front of your robotics classroom

when you spend months planning hairstyles to have at competition
when you plan to spike 1.5 foot long hair

when you have a list of over 500 quotes from robotics team members
when you can quote over half of said list

when you go to other classes while wearing your safety glasses

when your cell phone has more parts companies than people on the contacts list

(collected from many GRT people)

few more...
When you ask the robot to sadies
When you ask the animation to sadies

When you contemplate making a weight loss video about your robot ("I lost 20lbs in 3 days!")

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

when getting dressed for a wedding, i give a rather logical explantion on fasion (how to wear what we were wearing) as we were getting dressed
and my sister turns to the rest of the family and says
"she's an engeneer... she thinks like that a lot..."
and all i can do is have a blank expersion saying
"but it makes sense... what do u mean... huh?"

of course they took my advice



when you are disapointed at yourself for not giving "Duct tape" as an ans. for something...

eg
my suitemate was getting dressed but the boots were not high enough to fill the slits of the jeans... so i tell her to just staple the slits togather due to the lack of saftypins...

she did it
and it worked

nancienancie_47 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

what? how do i know?well, okay, first my sister joined in, on the team (#47). She told me every thing that they have done. So, just by telling me that, i got so into it. Soon, i got into a after school program called "girls in tech." i didn't relize that it was part of what my sister was into. i went to their OCCRA games. so, i loved it so much and can't wait to go into high school and joined in also. hey, you got to love it!!

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

"when you plan to spike 1.5 foot long hair"

really how?? ive tried sooo many times!!!

when the first thought that pops into your mind after breaking your finger was 'praise God its on my left hand!! now i can still use a screwdriver!!'

when you are still trying to type on chief delphi with a cast over your hand...doesnt work too well!

and, although not i, but
when you agree to go to a robotics meeting, but forget that that day is your wedding!!!

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

Nobody knows the trouble of seen. Nobody knows my sorrow. Oh wait Hi Guys.... Forgot where I was for a min there


......When you have a music lineup playing on your laptop that FIRST would use at a compeititon.

......When you volunteer to make the FRC 2004 Roster forgetting theres nearly 1000 teams to add or edit information on. ---- Hey its almost there got a few more states. States like Cali whose got nearly 120 teams. I was bored and on a break from doing the roster and decided to count the teams in California lol ~

...... When you keep bothering Rich Wong for FLL pics so you can prove to all your other friends that for once in your life you were in charge of kids playing habits other then parent hood. ---- Rich you OWE me FLL pics. lol I know where your cubicle is as well as Marks lol you both can't hide from me. I'll punish you by taking away the donuts.

......when your up this late recapping all that has happened in the last 6 weeks knowing fully well that the fun has just begun.

......when considering to talk to the thread started in making a top 100 list of the best Your addicted FIRST posts.

..... When realizing if I were to get to the 1000th. mark I should have posted this instead of in one post but 6 posts just so that I can get there quicker.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS WHO ARE NOW IN THE DRILLING MODE

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

... when you are sitting in bio class talking about the change in Gibbs free energy and how it relates to entropy and the first thing you think of is "wow .. the same thing happens with motors between torque and speed"

... when you have two 1000 word english essays due in 2 hours and you are posting this ...

... when the said two essays were assigned about a week ago and you havent done them because you have been too busy with the robot


Good Luck Today !!
