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

[Vincent Chan]

Bored, tired, and waiting for food, so I thought I'd start up this list.

...you skip school to spend eight hours working on your bot.
...you have dreams about robotics.
...you talk about FIRST all day in an attempt to recruit people.
...you no longer have friends outside of your FIRST team.

[PureMachine4]

I have to agree with you there. I too have been talking alot of robotics hoping to recruite freinds to join and i think it's working.

















Fix it before it breaks, so you don't have to fix it when it breaks

....your robot is your valentine.

....your coach/teacher has to get you an extension on a class project so you can work on the robot.

Or, you know you are obsessed with FIRST when you try and nominate your robot for the sophomore class homecoming princess

I think you have it backwards. My wife thinks that FIRST is my first wife and for six plus weeks of the year, she's right.

you get depressed at the beginning of winter break because the school is locked until the fifth of January

When you ask your mentor's if you can take home the new control system home over the break to work on it.

And they let you.

That's pretty freakin' awesome!!! Fortunately, our mentor convinced the school to give us two meetings during the break.

When your b/f looks at your hands and nails and says "Been at the shop again?"

[FAKrogoth]

. . . Your study hall teacher says every day, "Why don't you just transfer over there?"

. . . A discussion with a team engineer involves you saying, "Look, I built the $@#$@#$@#$@# thing, and I know it does this . . "

[Trashed20]

...every sentance ends with "your mother", "in bed", or "and then you die twice"
...you find the word toaster funnier than usual
...Will cries for the robot
...run out of freshman to file things
...wheels aren't round anymore
...when you order 4 big mothers a day (pizza)
...when subway hates you
...it works


yeah, fun stuff
