Post 166 has been long past...cry

When you look at a robot in a game or movie and wince at how much programming would go into its AI. (WOPR, I'm looking at you and your unrealistic-at-the-time AI!)

as for the WOPR, i really wondered why there was about 1000 flashing lights on it. it did not seem like they could be interpreted in any way for anything useful.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

When pizza hut stops calling your phone when they go to deliver to the address of your location to ask where exactly you are, what door to go into, and everything else, and then also bring plates and crushed pepper and parmasan cheese topping when we had never gotten that before. Lets just say lots of pizza has been ordered.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when you tear apart robots from past years to build the new one

When you're on Chiefdelphi during EVERY SINGLE ROBOTICS MEETING

Talking Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

When someone ask's you: "what's today's date?" and you automatically reply 329. Last year, at the SPBLI Regional, the final day was our teams date. And we're proud to say when they annoucned the chairman's award winner, they ended the speech with "there's only one question to end this with; what's today's date?" Twas an amazing day.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

...you hear something non-robot-related, and get completely confused because you're brain is still trying to relate it to FIRST.(i.e.today someone mentioned getting a new trackball for his computer--my first mental image was of a giant red Overdrive ball sitting next to it)

You find yourself conversing entirely in C++("Okay, it's while targetAquired...no, ParticleAnalysisReport declaratiog at the if boundary")

....it's been a year since you had your blue hair, and even though you are no longer part of a team, you want to dye it blue JUST because you're volunteering at a regional.
