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

~you volunteer at the NJ Regional and get so into it that you end up losing most of your voice the first day, and are pretty much mute for the other two days because you just can't stop putting your all into what you're doing.
..and then you gotta spend the next few days enduring the wrath of a certain robotics members *cough*DJ and Coco*cough* as they call you Kristopher because you sound like a guy.

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

...You can't get rid of the smell of aluminum and machine oil, no matter how much u wash
...You have multiple soldering iron burns, both on your body and on your clothing
...You've learned more colorful put-downs, insults, and general linguistic devices at the shop in the past 6 weeks than anywhere else in your whole life
...You've read all of this thread, and can still add more
...You know the pinouts for the competition port by memory
...You're sitting here, night before you leave for the regional, reading posts and writing
...You do phone interviews for major scholarships just so you can go up with pit crew

I'll be sure to keep this in mind. j/k


...when you go to a regional and remembered to bring a digital camera and 2 batteries but forgot to charge both em.
...when you look forward to attending the next regional competition b/c you know this time to bring charged batteries and docking station (lol i will bring it to NYC) so that you can take up close pics of the robots while reffing the matches.
...when you start ranking the most posted in threads and you know for a fact that the top two are Word Assoc. and This particular Thread

~when your friend tells you that over his spring break he's actually going on vacation instead of going to the regional that lands on those same days and you can't understand this concept of doing something other than robotics.

Im guilty of that more then she is hehe Not only do I use Vacation for Competitions but I also Strickly use Vacation for Building Season. I must admit I was very lenient in what days I used this yr compared to last yr.


... when even after the Build Season you still stay up late nites simply b/c your bodies used to the idea of not sleeping regulary (spellings off)
