when your parents no longer ground you from playstation or 'hanging out', but from vex, team meetings, Chief Delphi, and any calculator that is programmable/ programming software.

been there, done that.

EDIT: when you start learning all the lyrics to the cha cha song, or you do it in your seat at competitions (with a mentor).
when you call after every match at competition to let your driver/coach know that that was awesome

... when ever you type the five letters f-i-r-s-t into a keyboard you automatically type them in all caps, regardless of whether you are referring to FIRST or not.
... when you read the above line and then go back and italicize FIRST to be correct.
... when go to Google and type in a team number to see if a team's website will show up in the first page of results. It works for 228 and 1511.
... when you notice that you've only been on Chief Delphi for a year, despite the fact that it seems so much longer

By then it is 2:33 and you think what a great team...

and now it's 2:37 and you realize you've just lost 9 minutes of productive time...

I do the same thing, but I'll start at 2:28.

when you start off a sentence with "so this one time, at a FIRST competition", or "so this one time during the robotics build season"

when you hear "we like to party" and start doing the dance...or you hear it in your head from the million times it was played and you start doing the dance...or when you hear or see MOE or 365 you do the dance

when you hear people yell "CHARGE" and you get confused and lost when you look and see baseball and not robots

when people ask you if you got your beads from new orleans..you proud say Purple Haze

when you realize you sneak in the library to get on CD, when most people sneak on the computers to get on myspace

when you contemplate using your team's website for your project in web page design

My suitcase has a terrible center of gravity. It always fall over. No matter how I repack it.

When that's how you explain the problem to your mother who doesn't know that "gravity has a center".

-You try to do the above at 10:30pm so you can show it to your teammates at school tomorrow, but your mom kicks you off the computer.
