When you decide that it would be fun to do Physics II problems at 11pm on a Saturday night, and you don't really have anything planned for Sunday...

You're on a Carnival Cruise and you see the entertainment room and think "Hey this'd be a pretty cool place to hold an off season event!"

...when you're up at 4am to beat John Boucher getting on Chief Delphi...
...when you're up at 4am downloading the FIRST logos from the website so that you can make a banner for a demo you're doing...on your vacation day!
...you're walking around the new convention center in Hartford where you're supposed to be doing the demonstration saying, wow, this is where the robots and toolboxes and crates will be coming into the pits in March when we're here - no more mud and snow to slush through!

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

When your friends come over and you make them watch your team's 'memory video'

When if you dont get on chief every morning it's a sad day where you always are wondering what is going on in the (FIRST) world

When you look forward to getting up at 7:30 to go to a robotics workshop, then actually do it! And then when you're sorry its over.

you pass up a trip to Disney World and get out of a couple days of school because you would miss a robotics regional.

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

- you spend more time at school building and driving than you do at home
- when you realize that your shop is your home for 40 days.
- school goes by and all you can do is think about robotics
- a teacher gives you time out of class to go to the shop to get your homework done.

But my dream was wrong, we made it to the finals and won the St. Louis Regional. We never played Baxter at all.
And my parents informed me this morning that I was sleep walking last night. They say that I walked into their room at 3:00AM and kept crying, "My robot won't go up the ramp." HaHaHaHaHaHa, I think its really funny. Its taken over my life.
Everyday since I've gotten back from St. Louis, my Algebra 2 class has done nothing but talk about the competition and the highest score possible. I'm OBSESSED!
my mom told me that i slept walked and started trying to take apart things with imaninary tools .. when i woke up... i was frustrated because i never finished taking apart the object in my dream...

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

i liked that last one

- When your son's teacher asks about the measurement of the bumper from the floor and me being mom and yet not involved spew out the answer because i heard it to many times

- When I am mom wake up at 5:30 on a saturday before coffee to drive my son to robotics so he can be the first one there and get a jump on it. (still trying to understand what part he is "jumping" on)

- When you as a mom sign on to a forum that son uses to post about how i am becoming addicted and i have not even touched the thing yet.

You know you're addicted to FIRST when, deep down, you feel offended when you hear one of your teachers say "robots are tools"
