Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

...when you spend all day at a mentor's house making orbit balls to hand out at the next regional
...when you have a playlist on your iTunes/iPod just for songs for robotics to teach the other students (primarily the guys) how to dance for the upcoming regional
...when you cut yourself on a zip tie on the robot, on a tub that you're taking out of the trunk of a car, get tendinitis while untwisting the PVC pipes for the pit design, and you don't care that your accident prone (sorry, that one makes no sense at all lol)

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

So I'm definitely am addicted to FIRST after just one event. I have been up late the last two nights, and probably will be tonight, thinking and/or dreaming about some combination of the Colorado Regional and Atlanta. Plus I spend all my time on here...

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

when you realize robots slipping around isn't as fun to watch as trackballs crashing into your opponents alliance station, or balls being shot into a hole above your opponents alliance station, or robots haning on a bar

but you still spend EVERY single minute of your free time obsessed to the game.... even if it is boring

...in math you start writing down the corresponding team names to the numbers in the algebra problems
...you proudly wear your button suit-of-armor
...you download all the songs you heard at competition just so you can robo rave to them at home
...you find yourself writing your favourite team names, numbers, etc on your hand in class
...you are depressed at the end of competition; not because you did not win, but because it means the season is over

Yes! So true... and...

... when you start writing code in your calculus class on notebook paper because you can't take out your laptop but just had to write it down.
