-When you make a trip a day to the electronics store

[Kiwi_queen]

- you go to VA with two friends from camp to visit one friend's family..and her whole family automatically assumes you're a computer whiz because you're on a robotics team

- while roadtripping with same camp friends, you see things that remind you of robotics, and you automatically launch into your stories

- you decide not to get a job this season because then you wouldn't be able to go to the competitions

- your main friends are divided into robotics and camp and anyone in between is just weird

- you cry when you see someone who bought a ducktape wallet instead of making it themselves

- you schedule your college classes so they don't interfere with team meetings, even if that means not taking a painfully desired class because the only one open is during meeting time

... when you get the nickname "the usefull freshmen"
... when you have to cancle a date with a girl because you have to go into the shop on saterday to build
... when the team knows your mom only as "the dougnut lady"
... when you willingly gave up 3 chances to see the ska is dead tour because it was build week 5 and you needed to finish pnumatics
... when you have developed the rare disease known as aluminum lung
... when FIRST is in the intrests on your livejournal
... when your parents finaly realize that a tetra is not just a pyramid shaped thingy made out of PVC
