I do that all the time!! MC is what I want to do =)

Also when you plan regional hopping for 2008 and years after that with a friend and how you will become tag-team MCs [HI ZARA!!!] =]

You can feel and allen wrench and know what size it is

When you can look at an allen socket and know what size wrench you need

[Otaku]

-When you know what size every single bolt, screw, nut, and rivet on your robot is. (Extra points for knowing where they are!)

When you regional-hop to two in one weekend and, on Monday in school, you have to explain to ALL your friends all the things that happened there. By around halfway through lunch, your mouth is taped shut.

When you go to one regional and come back with 5 shirts and a hat.
[One day, I'll get a good count of how many FIRST or team shirts I actually own.]

When you actually DREAM that you're an MC. [Yes, this happened. I blame Wayne for putting the idea in my head.]

... when you get sick of hearing "OMG It's Libby Kamen!"

[Nin_estarSaerah]

if it has been a week since your regional, and you STILL look at something bright green and think to yourself:that could distract our autonomous.

Heh. If there were bright green things near me at all, I'd probably think it.

When, in English class while reading The Great Gatsby, you poke your fellow FIRSTer when Gatsby starts obsessing over the green light on the dock. "He must be programming for autonomous!"

You know your overdosed on FIRST when you carry your medal with you wherever you go for a week after winning an event.

I never think about eating cheesy poofs (not because they don't exist, but because I don't like their real life counterparts -- cheetos).

But that's a good one, regardless.

When you're trying to talk to your family about the regional you were at, and some how the Cheesy Poofs come in to the conversation (I think I was talking about the Chairman's Award? I don't know how they got in to the conversation about UTC) and you have to pull up their website to prove to your mother that a team is actually named "Cheesy Poofs".

When your boss asks you to make a presentation about FIRST and your team to his bosses.

Im looking forward to it
