When you burst out during the middle of CAPT testing when one of the answers included your team name(and prior when it was in your test book number)!

*can't remember a time not going to a formal with a FIRSTer!  ... When you are very ill, can barely walk... and stay out of the hospital.. and the only thing you can think of is... 'oh man, it's gonna suck trying to get caught up on my reading on Delphi!'..... hehe (me all last week!) Last edited by Ashley Weed : 08-05-2003 at 21:24.

~when you hate it, but you still join in ~whenever you hear the word "hey" you want to yell "heyyyy" ~you and the thunder chickens stole 461's "Go Nuts" cheer (sorry Josh!) and had the entire rollercoaster train at Astroworld yelling it....right up until they started screaming. ~you are moving to Wisconsin for the summer for a job, but are trying to plot a way to get the days off so that you can drive from Kenosha to Indianapolis for IRI ~you know someone plotting to rob a bank so she can come back from Germany for 2 days to go to IRI ~you know what a dongle is ~you have all the storage bins you need to pack up your room  ~you're on CD at 11:00 the night before a psychology test that you really, really, really, really need a good grade on, so you won't have to take the final ~you actually offer to trade your car for a segway (hey, no insurance costs!!) ~you almost cried when you finally got to ride the segway ~you really, really, really wanted to ride the war wagon down the hill ~you remember the stretcher, and remember sending your 3 roommates down a ramp on it at the 2001 IRI....where they promptly crashed into the side of the bleachers!!! (I have pics) ~you've read this entire post so far ~you re-enact your favorite match from 2002 for a teammate who wasn't there....using different colored napkins for the zones, pop cans for the goals, and plastic flatware for the robots ~you get pulled over, and you really, really, really hope that your team shirt gets you off with just a warning

When you are doing a speech unit in English and all 8 or your speeches relate to FIRST Robotics.

 maybe i should start a get elyse back to the states for 2 days fund..... hehehe.and who got the napkin convo started ... and it was the most beautiful match of all time, next to that would be when robodawgs made us look super weak last year @ IRI, it was amazing even if we did lose... or a certain match involving the same team from the best 2002 match this year at West Michigan.and OMG! the shirt thing worked.... i was gonna pretend i didn't know you and was some hitchhiker or something because freaking all of Hammond's police force was there for a light.... OH!!! ...when while talking about riding the segway, you begin driving before the light is actually green.

...When while sitting in the car with your dad and brother, the song "The boys are back in town" comes on, and you immediatly think of playing that on your robot cart as you walk into the UCF regional next year, you tell your dad and for ONCE he dosent immediatly cut you down by saying how much of a dork you are, but instead names another song that would be good to play for that as well (BTO- Roll on down the highway)
...When you really wish FIRST had two seasons or something so you could attend another midwest regional...for both robotics and its people (okay okay, so maybe really just one person that you REALLY wanna see )

it's been said before, but it actually happened...
My family went out for a Mother's Day dinner, and the final total came to $236. (lots of people) My dad took the bill, and read it as it was handed to him. Soon as he said "236," I instincively shouted out "Techno Tics" My family looked at me wierd, I just shrugged.

-you insist that all of the seniors on your team get prom dates, because you know they need to get out
-3 of the 6 guys prom dates are on FIRST teams -one of them is you -your parents ask for the computer, but then proceed to see you on cd, and go "nevermind, i'll come back later" [just happened] -your parents don't worry about you spending 6 weeks in one room with 15 men between the ages of 17 and 50 until the wee hours of the morning -you take pieces of the previous year's robot, because you know it will be sacrificed, but you must always have a part of it -your friends ask you what the big chunk of metal their brother brought home last night is.....and you get either insulted or tell her to steal it -your father thinks you have an addiction to cd and gets upset when he sees you on [he thinks the seasons is over!!] -your friends dont know what you are talking about for the 6 weeks of build season, but smile and nod because they know you have too much caffine in your system to shut up -you know what you are getting the team seniors for graduation presants [DEW CUBE!!!] -you give people evil stares if they ask you if FIRST is like battlebots -people have stopped mentioning battlebots in your presance for fear of you freaking out -your non-FIRST friends know there are large chunks of time in the winter when they will not see you, but you are not hibernating -your non-FIRST teacher lets you come into his room during study hall to let you sleep [after the build period of course] because your study hall teacher believes in "silent study" but they still won't let you sleep [i dont snore!!] -your team can taste the difference in shipments of DEW -your team found walking to FIESTA at nationals to buy DEW was not a option, it was a way of life -your team figured out the DEW bank can hold 8.3 lieters of DEW, but everyone on the team checked the calculations -your friends have to sneak you DEW cuz they know you can't go cold turkey and your parents refuse to buy it -your FIRST seniors bring you dew in the morning after they know you were writing an essay until 3 am [cuz you no longer have an excuse to not fall asleep, build season is OVER  ]-you hang out with FIRST people outside of competions and meetings -your team starts team-dating the team you used to mentor [WOO go 173-571] -only one person on your team understands your gibberish, however, it always ends with BAH [steve!!] -you put up an away message to post on CD [darnm those people, always distracting] -your engineers laugh when you try to find guys at a robotics competion -your engineers know who you are dating, your parents don't cuz he's at your pits, when he has a break.....maybe
