You know you've been in the shop too long this weekend if:

[FreakyAntelope]

When you look around your shop and think to yourself "you know, maybe having five teams in one room isn't too much afterall.."

When you spent 90% of your last four days (awake or asleep) in the robotics lab (I actually did out the math on this one).

When you realize that this is the only the fourth day in the past six weeks I haven't been to the robotics room..

When the word "magic" is applied to about 6 different tools in the shop, 4 of them being "the magic wrench" and everyone on the team still knows which one you mean.

When the only reason you aren't still programming the robot is because ALL of your batteries are too dead to shoot consistently.

When you have just spent more time in the school in one weekend than you would in a normal week.

When you are so deep sleprived that... zzzzzz

When you have fallen asleep every time you have sat down today.

When autonomous mode really just doesn't seem that important any more. And not because you have more important things to do, just because you're too tired to bother.

When you realize that you've been running your robot for the past 24 hours *without bolting down the shooter* (D'oh)

When you haven't eaten a meal at home in 5 days (and you usually eat at least two every day), and you haven't eaten at all in 18 hours.

When wednesday morining comes around and you decide that you're too tired to bother starting your homework for the weekend.

When you're browsing chiefdelphi instead of sleeping.. even though you desperately need the sleep and are staring blankly at the screen even as I type.

When the robot *actually* *works*
