I've had that one happen,

same when they got me a USB mouse that fits on your finger!!!

the stuff in the background of the pic (attached) were also great x-mas presents, the redish thing is a Korg KP3, and the thing with all the knobs is a BCDJ3000 usb dj controller...

fun for robotics, as it outputs in usbmidi, which the control system can read...

plus, who wants to work on cad without music...

When you are best friends with the janitors because you are still there when you are building

When you get to see the janitors leave and you are still at school not planning on leaving yet

[GillSt.Bernards]

You need something to hold your hair up after you spent an all nighter at school so you use a screwdriver

[dragonrulr288]

you walk to school in the morning with saftey glasses on, and noone thinks its abnormal

[NorviewsVeteran]

There are more safety glasses on your dresser than in the shop from accidentally bringing them to your house.

[dragonrulr288]

having no life cuz you are at robotics all the time. friends and family have forgotten my number, cuz i never answer my phone

When you dont get home till around 9 each night, school or no school, and you find yourself to be looking forward to the next day because your hoping your robot will be done by then
When you get really excited and yell random YES's when something gets done right
When you lookk at anything mechanical and imagine what type and how much programming went in to making it
