Hey, I thought everyone did

Also, when the thing you're most excited about this summer is having time off to design a new team website!

-When you tear for a good 20 minutes straight at the Championship after-party, because you realize the (Jan-Apr) portion of the season is over. (no joke)

-When you and a team-mater (myself and Ryan Simpson) go back and forth naming teams and their team numbers for a half-hour.

The season is never over. There's always the off-season and things like IRI.

When you are teaching Vacation Bible school, the theme is Glalactic blast and you find a way to bring the robots in for "discovery" time.

When each day is a different color and you vow to wear a robotics shirt each day.........and you can, in fact you have a few choices

Monday-green-Moe/Thunderchickens
Tues - Red- Robocats/Xcats/ambassador shirt

Last year I was co-teaching the Discovery Center and the theme was robots. I build a lego robot for each day

Not me... doe

This is an awesome thread, so relate-able. I guess FIRST is a good think to overdose on.

My friend and I enjoy yelling out team names in Math class when the answer coordinate to a team.

Teacher: Jimmy do you know the answer to number 16
Jimmy: Is it 254?
Teacher: That is (interrupted)
Me and My Friend Together: The Cheesy Poofs
Teacher: correct

Wait, so the Cheesy Poofs are the answer to the Bomb Squad?

-You have 6 pairs of Converse shoes, and buy another pair because they're 217/365 Green.
-You find another bright green pair of Converse for less than half the price, and buy them, because they're only $11.
-You keep both pairs of shoes. Because one is slightly darker than the other.
-One of those pairs goes right on top of the pair of bright pink Converse in your closet. 233 and 217/365 are finally sitting on top of each other!

Please never allow me to have a credit card. Ever. I might end up with more stuff than I will ever need, simply because it's the same color as a team's shirts.

That's actually a good idea...considering they make print archives of webcomics like ctrl+alt+del. Do that for a fundraiser at regionals. Of course, after you printer's funeral...



I got this one from a friend:

...you watch the live feed from Atlanta during lunch time and you
check the rankings between classes, because your team didnt
make it, but you are friends with members of the team that beat
you.
...everytime you check your phone during class you have pictures
and messages from said friend, all about how awesome Atlanta is.
...you dress in said teams colors for support, across the country.

[musicgurl1329]

every story you tell in any class starts with "So, this one time at robotics..."

you take up half a class period to explain this year's game to people not on the team.

when you randomly find some duct tape in your back pack and don't remember putting it their

^also with safety glasses and other shop items

when someone asks you if your sad you tell them "I miss my robot"

one day you realize someone's (or your own) license plate has "bot" in it.

your parents sometimes wish they could switch their red bumpers for blue ones.

you can't wait to read this thread every time it is updated.

Your mom is trying to figure out where a city is, and only figures it out because she knows what teams are from that city. (accompanying quote: "Where is that...Goodrich, that's up by OH--Martians, More Martians! That's Goodrich, right?!")

[Vermeulen]

When you clean off your room's desk, and you find, amongst other team things, a copy of your team's bylaws proposals, a pile of accidentally pocketed nuts and bolts, your tinted safety glasses, the safety glasses the team gave you for Atlanta, the safety glasses that didn't fog up in Atlanta, your 2 pairs of spare safety glasses, and your glow-in-the-dark wristbands.

When the above isn't even half of it.
