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

[SugaRaXie]

...when you'd rather spend your lunch and after school hrs with your team and robot rather than your friends

...when you stay up till morning hours working on robotics related things [haha...last week was suppose to be up working on a new layout for my website but ended up coding the entire layout for my robotics team website...]

...when all you'd rather do are FIRST competitions [lol, after the wonderland competition today a bunch of the team members went to BK to chill and one person was like how it'd be crazy wicked if all you did was like drive all over the country in a coach and participating in FIRST competitions/events...]

...when you're willing to miss your favourite [insert something here -- class, tv show -- etc...] just for robotics

...when all you do is talk about robotics no matter who you're with

-You are willing and wanting to spend ten hours a day, every day of the week, for at least three weeks, just to finish your robot (at the end (or in my case, the animation).
