Re: Obsessed

If you spend too much time on CD you might get banned. JVN's self imposed ban does show the extremes it can take to get FIRST-a-holics to use in moderation. I personally try to curb heavy CD usage, but I can only delay it (with the game and webcasts this year it was hard to stay away). Since Champs I've been trying to catch up on research and have queued several long posts for later. I have stuff I should have done last night but I spent a while making IRI plans, then fell asleep. I actually should be working on that now...

So in summary: Everything in moderation.

(now I sound like my father )

Agree in full.

Though seriously sometimes it gets kinda creepy guys, back off. 6 weeks of build and then some for regionals is sweet, but then if you keep going you weird people out.

Join a service club. Join a sport. Add variety. It's the spice of life. And if anybody younger than me tries to quote me and challenge my points, don't, you're wasting your time, I've been through this.

sorry but I have to fight you. I am in our concert band, jazz band, Drumline, Ultimate team, Scouts,(all of this is going on at the same time) and I am still doing robotics full force.
Ultimate is 4 days out of the week and I do robotics on the way to practice and after practice along with wearing my FIRST hat and sometimes a robotics shirt. plus many people ask me about robotics at ultimate.
In scouts I talk about robotics. One of the other scouters is on another FIRST team and I got 2 other scouters recruted for our team for next season. plus with scouts being almost every weekend and everyother week plus since I am an older scout I go out and help shop for food and supplies for the trips.
In my three band activities everyone knows that robotics is my life. they ask me about it. I bring and do robotics in band.
All of my teachers know that I know nothing else than robotics.
And in all of my time that I have left I am always doing something robotics related, to the point were my parents are about to rip robotics out of my life(but I won't let them)
