--You talk about robotics so fast some people think it is a foreign language
--Your girlfriend left you for the robot
--You have cyclical relationships with getting back together at the deadline, and the breakup at the kickoff
--You convince your significant other to join the team so that you see them more often
--You look like an automaton for 6 weeks

Since I almost never date guys that go to my school that's not the case, but I DID convince my best friend to join the team so I could see her more often.

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

when you call the robot "my baby"

when you have a picture of you and the robot on your camera, phone, or personal site.

when you have that same picture framed in your room somewhere.



^yeahhhh. you know it.


oops. done em al.

when you hear your school's PA announce your team's standings at last weekend's regional and you scream really loud.

and everyone looks at you funny.



wow. i've completely out-dorked myself.

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

...your best memory of Highschool will be Robotics.
...your team dreams that one day there will be a career where you just drive around to regionals all throughout the year.
...you spend more time at school working on robotics stuff than actually in class.
...you go to other random forums and make friends with the ppl that're in robotics FIRST, then the rest of the members of the forum.

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

When you get frustrated when people can't remember what FIRST stands for...
When you start linking poof balls to random things in conversations....
When you get more nicknames during build season than the rest of your life combined...
When you buddy icon says geeks are hot.....
When you believe that geeks are hot....

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

When you schedule your college classes around participating as a mentor in FIRST...
When you spend more than 200 hrs during the build season building the robot and still work 40 hrs a week...
When you spend way too much time on Chief Delphi making sure you know everything possible about other robots and rules before going to a comp...

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

When you come home from a competition and take up your whole economics hour trying to explain what FIRST is to the class...
When your friends disown you because they never see you during build season...
You know what button parties are...
When you have attended button parties...
When you quote Chief Delphi...
You personalize your safety glasses....
You carry safety glasses in your purse...
There's more than one pair in there^^...

-you're sad that you can't go to any of the competitions, and are being pessimistic about being able to attend IRI
-You ponder for hours on end about how to get your team to Atlanta, because you all really want to go

[edit] Hah.. just experienced this one...
-When you want to go somewhere else on the web, you automatically open up another window entirely so you can stay logged on to Chief Delphi [/edit]

Ohhhh man... Safety Glasses. I "personalized" my safey glasses at Pittsburgh with a ton of frilly ribbon. You could ask anyone from that regional and I think they will remember them. Everyone should personalize their glasses, but er....at your own risk. ^_^ I had my picture taken lots of times by people I had never met before in muh life.
