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

... Your standards for a boyfriend or girlfriend includes them being on a FIRST team.
... you turn down dates to build your robot.
... you correct the mentors
... the robot becomes part of the family. *sigh* it really does..
... you eat dinner in the plant for 6 weeks straight
... you know every word to every Green Day song there is
... you start speaking with odd words your team makes up
... you drop kick someone that says, "Sooo.. it's like BattleBots!?"
... you build a fuzzy launcher in class
... your room is covered in our teams Fuzzies
... when your room is painted your robotics spirit colors
... on spirit day for the high school you come in robotics colors instead.
... you come to competition covered in spirited colors

-you spend all night in the hotel at the end of the day at a competition playing Halo 2
-all you ever wear are your robotics logo clothes (your team uniform)
-when other kids are coming to school in the morning, and you haven't left school at all

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

  • When you can look at a map and all you can think about are the teams in that state/country and your friends there
  • When you have basically and entire floor of a GE factory to yourselves
  • When you watch sporting events on tv just to get good sponser ideas
  • When you carry a pad of paper and a pen in your car so in case you're driving downtown and get an idea for a sponser
  • When you long to be home with frontpage so you can update your team's webpage
  • When you cant hear the word Flowers without smiling
  • When the first questions you ask when looking colleges are: "Do they mentor a robotics team?" and "How is their engineering program?"

When you contemplate borrowing your team's robot to drive up and down the halls of your college residence hall to recruit some college student mentors.

...when your default homepage is your teams website
...when you start counting down the hours left of school before your kick off meeting for new members
...when you give your parents the shop phone number in order to get ahold of you for 6 weeks

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

lol...

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

...your biggest worry about your re-sits is that they fall during the build time...
...you actually try to turn up for the team meeting when the new Captain messes up and says it's at 2:55am on the otherside of the county...
...you get annoyed because you missed the receipt with your team number upon it by a few minutes in Argos...
