I believe that's called an offseason event, as long as other teams show up.

well, it's an A for effort anyway.

When you spend more time in CD reading these posts than you have doing class work all year.

When you purposely try to create logical problems on your Calculus tests that equal to your team's number.

When your friends think that carrying a wrench, screwdriver, and calculator in your pocket is a normal, everyday occurance.

When your classmates tune out your conversations when you start talking in "robotics words", or words your team has made up and created a dictionary for.

-when you consider your robot as one of your own.
-when you are on chief delphi posting threads 24/7.

-You STILL!! can't have a conversation with any of your friends with out using a robotics inside joke every other sentence...

-You get werid looks from new members when a inside joke is said in normal conversation(design, programming, machining, logicistics, ect.), and everyone including the mentors laughts.

-When you have been sick now for over a week and still stay up till 1 or 2 in the morning reading all the posts on this thread.(i am almost completley better though)

- Even though you are sick and have been for over a week and you go to school so you can attend your teams meetings because you know if you stay home your parents won't let you go and you refuse to miss any meetings.

-if you are willing to the WORST THING YOU CAN THINK OF that is still just legal to raise money while trying to get sponsors so you can actually keep your team running.

[Mr. Giggles]

-when you get excited when you see the word robotics in your economics book.

did the second one.

[mastermind12]

I am still doing both of them.

- And because you were up so late and are sick you fall asleep in English class and the teacher is so busy reading that she doesn't even wake you up.

-Even though you know you should try and get more sleep then 2 or 3 hours of sleep since you are sick but you are so used to getting only 2 or 3 hours of sleep and can't get any more sleep.

-When you nearly miss your bus 2 times in a row because you were up til the time mentioned above

-When because you were up til the time mentioned above your mom is taking your laptop and phone at 9:30 from now til the end of the school year on weekdays.

Probably more to come.

[mastermind12]

-When you were up ti 2am or 3am and just realized instead of doing your math homework which is due in about 15 or 20 minutes you are on CD.

-When you hate that you have to leave for about 15 to 30 minutes to take a test and don't want to.(teacher has to go get my student id so not yet but soon.)

But I will be back after til 11am. Then again maybe around 11:35 til 2:20.

- When someone behind you says a question talks about wire and you can't help to wonder what kind of wire and if its the same type of wire that you use for electronics

-When you are in class talking on AIM to someone from robotics when you shouldn't be.

Thats all til after lunch. But more to come probably.

Sounds good, but when you do have more, remember to edit your previous post rather than making a while new one.

You hear "comparing notes" and imagine two flutests debating B flat.




Sorry. Couldn't resist being completely off topic....
