... when your world history teacher reads the class an opinion editorial article and when it mentions Dean Kamen you excitedly turn to the 2 kids in your class on your robotics team and all exchange huge smiles. and you all have to refrain from jumping out of your seat and screaming "YES! FIRST DOMINATES ALL!!!"

...when your world history teacher is reading the class an opinion editorial about the economy and teacher salaries and youre not really paying attention but when the article mentions dean kamen, you excitedly look at the other 2 kids from the robotics team and exchange huge smiles. and youre so excited that you must refrain from jumping out of your seat and screaming, "FIRST ROX UR SOX OFF! I LOVE DEAN KAMEN!!!"

-when you set your alarm to wake up at 4:30 so you can get into the shower before anyone else.
-when you hear the words woodie or flowers and think "gracious professionalism."
-when you are in math class, someone yells out a number and you wonder where that team is from.

when ever you get a answer for math homework you wonder what their name is and were their from....

You told your new members about buttons, and they go i can keep them in ziplock sandwitch bag, you laugh and don't tell why...
