One in 2001 At Bash at the Beach where I inserted the battery and it somehow pulled the wire going to the speed controller causing only one side to drive and in 2002 @ NYC when I forgot to secure the battery connector and the opposing robot accidentally snagged that same wire and dis-connected the battery )


.....When not only does the 99% things here does not seem strange to you but you can relate to at least 1/2 of the postings here!

.....When you notice 9 more postings to get to 1000 and you start placing bets if the 1000 post will be accomplished thursday night or friday night

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

When people compare your team to American Chopper:

I am Seinor
Kevin is Juinor
James is Vinny
William is the brother....

And people think its funnier to watch us yelling at each other then the actual TV show.

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

When you walk into the gym storage closet of your old elementary school and the first thing you see is a 30 inch yellow ball (the same brand as the ones shipped in the kit of parts) and you know you have been at robotics too much in the past few months.

When you walking past the buses at your school and see bus number 47 and buss number 71 and you instanly think of Chief Delphi and Team Hammond

You can name a team by it's colors/mascots. (example: Someone goes "You know...the orange team with the tiger.." and your response is "Tigertrons." Or..."The lime green team..." and you go "Oh yeah..MOE 365")

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

.. when youre in india and you are wondering what is going on in the world of FIRST because you havent had access to the internet for a while

.. when HP no longer stands for hewlett packard or harry potter .. but only for human player

.. when you meet a 3-year old cousin of yours for the first time and think "when he is in high school ... hell definitely join a FIRST team" and then you realize that because he lives in india there are no FIRST teams so you start to think about starting some ....

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

...when you decide to paint your hair and dress in pink so you blend in with the florida team.

...when you hit the refresh button on FIRST site to see if any regional updates have been posted (same goes for CD)

...when you go to the regionals wearing all the corresponding shirts concerning the teams and volunteering you'll be representing (as silly / stupid as it may be i shall do this got 4 of em to wear already)

...when you get a shaved hair cut with the FIRST logo faded into the cut

...when your phone gets the faceplate with the FIRST logo on it....

I think in april 2002 I saw maybe 1 - 2 people with the FIRST logo'd faceplates for Nokia phones


...when after reading the local newspaper(s) you log onto CD to read more interesting things that seem more logical and have more common sense.

...when wondering what kind of motor pushes the newspaper through the newspaper making machine.

...when you have read this thread fully more then once in the past hour.

...when your buddy list is divided into groups :family / friends / FIRST / CD and Team # (Insert team numbers here)

...when said buddy list contains more various team members names then your grouped family names

...when you have 2 different AIM accounts one for FIRST / CD and one for personal life yet the FIRST / CD contains more names and you use it more often then the other one

Edit:// To: BRM789 you know all this time I was doing this editing I never once looked up at that. So here it is the 1000'th post. Sheesh a few seconds of happiness for reaching that far lol kinda reminds me of New Years and as soon it changes to 12:01 the fun is over. The next goal for this thread shall be set to 1100, 1250, 1500, 1750. 1900, 2000 I think Erin will make it to those points before I do. hehe

Anyways heres to the 1000th. post. happy 1000th post.

...when celebrating top postings of this thread becomes a monthly event.

Hey Erin Got some good news and some bad news

through the greatness of how vBulletin works

WE can both be the 1000th post.

When you see the Detroit Regional on the news and the first thing you notice is the reporter is in the pits and not wearing safety glasses, then promptly start naming teams that they are showing.
